1 Corinthians 15:34 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 15.

30 And why do we endanger ourselves every hour?

31 I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

32 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.”

33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.

35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

36 You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.

38 But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
