1 | I DIE EVERY DAY-Never read a Bible verse | 1 Cor 15:31 | kalos | 147706 | ||
"I DIE EVERY DAY!" Never read a Bible verse. [30] Why am I in danger every hour? [31] I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I DIE EVERY DAY! [32] What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." 1 Cor. 15:30-32 (ESV) (Emphasis added.) "Never read a Bible verse. That's right, never read a Bible verse. Instead, always read a paragraph -- at least" (Never Read a Bible Verse by Gregory Koukl) Both in the immediate paragraph (1 Cor. 15:29-32) and in this chapter, the context in which we read "I die daily" speaks of literal, physical death. In the entire 15th chapter the main topics under discussion are death and resurrection. So, taken in context, "I die daily" is speaking of physical -- not spiritual or figurative -- death. "15:31 I die daily. Paul was exposed to so many physical dangers and to such violent attacks on himself and on his teachings that 'daily' cannot be an exaggeration." (Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1976, 1978) "15:30,31 I die daily. Paul continually risked his life in self-sacrificing ministry." (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) |

2 | I DIE EVERY DAY-Never read a Bible verse | 1 Cor 15:31 | Praise Be To God | 147711 | ||
I think Paul is referring to dying physically, but I think he means that each day he is one day closer to death. Janae |
