1 Corinthians 15:33-34
(33) Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
(34) Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
15:33-34. Paul’s concluding advice with reference to those who continued to deny the Resurrection was like his former counsel concerning immoral people in the church (chap. 5)—don’t associate with them. Previously he had compared immorality in the church to yeast in bread (5:6). Here he quoted the pagan writer Menander (Thais 218) to the same effect: Bad company corrupts good character. False teachers should be avoided (cf. 2 Cor. 6:14-7:1) because though they claimed great knowledge they were in fact ignorant of God (cf. 1 Cor. 8:2). Were the wise Corinthians this easily deceived? (cf. 2 Cor. 11:3)
