ISB ~ 1 Corinthians 15 v32

What do I gain:Suffering would be meaningless without the prospect of a heavenly reward (4:9-13; 2 Cor 4:11). Let us eat and drink: A quotation from Is 22:13. • Isaiah echoes the words of the wicked inhabitants of Jerusalem, who despised the Law of God in their pursuit of selfish enjoyments. Such a carefree philosophy of life makes sense only if there is no hope of life beyond death.
