Evil Company and the Resurrection

Do not be deceived:  "Evil company corrupts good habits." (1 Corinthians 15:33; NKJV)

The context of this verse is profound.  There were some Christians at Corinth that were saying "that there is no resurrection from the dead" (1 Corinthians 15:12).  The point of 1 Corinthians 15:33 in context is this:  If you associate with folks who do not believe in the resurrection they will corrupt you.

"Awake to righteousness and do not sin; for some do not the knowledge of God.  I speak this to your shame" (1 Corinthians 15:34; NKJV).
