Why Paul Said "I Die Daily" — 1 Corinthians 15:31 Explained

B29L12 📖 What does Paul mean when he says "I die daily"? In 1 Corinthians 15:31, the Apostle reveals the daily battle between the old nature and the new. This verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 15:31-34 will transform how you understand the resurrection and your walk with Christ. In this teaching, Les cross-references Romans 6:13 to show how believers must refuse to yield their members to sin. He unpacks verse 32 — Paul's fight with beasts at Ephesus refers to human enemies, not literal lions. If there is no resurrection, Paul argues, we may as well eat, drink, and be merry like the Epicureans. But there IS a resurrection. Verse 33 warns: "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." Les cross-references Proverbs 13:20 and Hebrews 10:23-25 on the importance of Christian fellowship. In verse 34, Paul calls believers to awake to righteousness. Les explains the two natures — old Adam vs the new divine nature — and reminds us that grace is not a license to sin. He closes with a sobering question: are you a shame to God because of your biblical ignorance? 📜 KEY TOPICS COVERED • What does "I die daily" mean in 1 Corinthians 15:31? • The two natures of the believer — old Adam vs new nature • Paul's fight with beasts at Ephesus explained • "Evil communications corrupt good manners" — 1 Corinthians 15:33 • Proverbs 13:20 — walking with wise men • Why Christians must not forsake assembling — Hebrews 10:25 • Can a believer live without sin?
