1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”
It is great to know that our Bibles have references to other writings!
The apostle obviously had read, or at least heard, the poem referenced and uses it to remind the Corinthians that the world does have good sounding words, but does not always convey the truth.
The people who do not walk with God will not be upholding God’s Word and His ways; they will be upholding their own ways or the ways of the world.
We need to keep focus on God so we can know His ways and live for Him.
