30. And what about us? Why do we put ourselves in danger every hour?
31. I die every day. That is true, brothers and sisters, just as it is true that I brag about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32. If I fought wild animals in Ephesus only with human hopes, I have gained nothing. If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we will die.”
33. Do not be fooled: “Bad friends will ruin good habits.”
34. Come back to your right way of thinking and stop sinning. Some of you do not know God—I say this to shame you.
35. But someone may ask, “How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have?”
36. Foolish person! When you sow a seed, it must die in the ground before it can live and grow.
37. And when you sow it, it does not have the same “body” it will have later. What you sow is only a bare seed, maybe wheat or something else.
