1 Corinthians 15:32

Concerning The Resurrection Of The Dead

³¹ I face death every day! That is as certain, brothers, as it is that I am proud of you in the Messiah, Jesus our Lord. ³² If I have fought with wild animals in Ephesus from merely human motives, what do I get out of it? If the dead are not raised, "Let's eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." ³³ Stop being deceived: "Wicked friends lead to evil ends."
