1 Corinthians 15:32

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

If{G1487} after the manner{G2596} of men{G444} I have fought with beasts{G2341}{(G5656)} at{G1722} Ephesus{G2181}, what{G5101} advantageth it{G3786} me{G3427}, if{G1487} the dead{G3498} rise{G1453}{(G5743)} not{G3756}? let us eat{G5315}{(G5632)} and{G2532} drink{G4095}{(G5632)}; for{G1063} to morrow{G839} we die{G599}{(G5719)}.
Strong's King James
If according to man I fought wild beasts in Ephesus what do I profit? If the dead aren't raised, 'LET'S EAT AND DRINK BECAUSE TOMORROW WE DIE!'
The F.O.G*
[32] If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what did I gain? If the dead aren't raised, "let's eat and drink, for tomorrow we die"—but that's not our story!
The F.O.G Paraphrase
if after the manner of a man with wild beasts I fought in Ephesus, what the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die!
