Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” 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.
(1 Corinthians 15:33-34 ESV)
Paul had talked about the positive impact of the resurrection on believers by Christ and by those who had gone to be with Him. It was now time to address that impact on the present in the lives of these believers (and us.) Will we choose to live life allowing the Resurrection to challenge us to new life in Christ, or will we instead be influenced by those who choose to live immorally, as if how we live now is no different, if we proclaim to be His followers. Don't be deceived. Resurrection means a new life.
