If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”†

1 Corinthians 15:32 in context

29
Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?
30
Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31
I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32
Selected verse
If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”†
33
Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
34
Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35
