1 Corinthians 15:34 in Other Translations

KJV
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
ESV
34 Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
NLT
34 Think carefully about what is right, and stop sinning. For to your shame I say that some of you don’t know God at all.
MSG
34 Think straight. Awaken to the holiness of life. No more playing fast and loose with resurrection facts. Ignorance of God is a luxury you can't afford in times like these. Aren't you embarrassed that you've let this kind of thing go on as long as you have?
CSB
34 Become right-minded and stop sinning, because some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.

1 Corinthians 15:34 In-Context

32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
