1 Korinther 15:33

33 Lasset euch nicht verführen! Böse Geschwätze verderben gute Sitten.

1 Korinther 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 Korinther 15:33 In-Context

31 Bei unserm Ruhm, den ich habe in Christo Jesu, unserm HERRN, ich sterbe täglich.

32 Habe ich nach menschlicher Meinung zu Ephesus mit wilden Tieren gefochten, was hilft's mir? So die Toten nicht auferstehen, "laßt uns essen und trinken; denn morgen sind wir tot!"

33 Lasset euch nicht verführen! Böse Geschwätze verderben gute Sitten.

34 Werdet doch einmal recht nüchtern und sündigt nicht! Denn etliche wissen nichts von Gott; das sage ich euch zur Schande.

35 Möchte aber jemand sagen: Wie werden die Toten auferstehen, und mit welchem Leibe werden sie kommen?
