KJV ORIGINAL
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
If I'm just being human about this — like, if I literally fought wild animals in Ephesus — what was even the point if people don't actually come back from the dead? Might as well just party and live it up, because tomorrow we're gone anyway.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Without resurrection, life's just a countdown to nothing — so why not just live for the moment?
