1 Corinthiens 15:33

33 Ne vous y trompez pas: les mauvaises compagnies corrompent les bonnes moeurs.

1 Corinthiens 15:33 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 15:33

Be not deceived
By such as deny the doctrine of the resurrection, and by their reasonings about it; or by such libertines who go into the denial of it, and argue from thence in favour of their licentious course of life:

evil communications corrupt good manners.
This is a sentence taken out of Menander, an Heathen poet, showing how dangerous is the conversation of evil men, and what an influence bad principles communicated and imbibed, have on the lives and practices of men. This the apostle cites not out of ostentation, or to show his reading, learning, and acquaintance with such sort of writers; but partly to observe, that this was a truth obvious by the light of nature, and partly because such a testimony might be more regarded by the Corinthians, who might be fond of such authors, and what was said by them; just as when he was at Athens among the philosophers there, he cites a passage out of Aratus, ( Acts 17:28 ) as he does another out of Epimenides concerning the Cretians, ( Titus 1:12 ) .

1 Corinthiens 15:33 In-Context

31 Chaque jour je suis exposé à la mort, je l'atteste, frères, par la gloire dont vous êtes pour moi le sujet, en Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur.

32 Si c'est dans des vues humaines que j'ai combattu contre les bêtes à Ephèse, quel avantage m'en revient-il? Si les morts ne ressuscitent pas, Mangeons et buvons, car demain nous mourrons.

33 Ne vous y trompez pas: les mauvaises compagnies corrompent les bonnes moeurs.

34 Revenez à vous-mêmes, comme il est convenable, et ne péchez point; car quelques-uns ne connaissent pas Dieu, je le dis à votre honte.

35 Mais quelqu'un dira: Comment les morts ressuscitent-ils, et avec quel corps reviennent-ils?
