1 Corintios 15:33

33 No se dejen engañar: «Las malas compañías corrompen las buenas costumbres».

1 Corintios 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 Corintios 15:33 In-Context

31 Que cada día muero, hermanos, es tan cierto como el orgullo que siento por ustedes en Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor.
32 ¿Qué he ganado si, solo por motivos humanos, en Éfeso luché contra las fieras? Si los muertos no resucitan,«comamos y bebamos,que mañana moriremos».
33 No se dejen engañar: «Las malas compañías corrompen las buenas costumbres».
34 Vuelvan a su sano juicio, como conviene, y dejen de pecar. En efecto, hay algunos de ustedes que no tienen conocimiento de Dios; para vergüenza de ustedes lo digo.
35 Tal vez alguien pregunte: «¿Cómo resucitarán los muertos? ¿Con qué clase de cuerpo vendrán?»
