20 But God said to him, ‘Unreasonable one, this night they are demanding your soul* from you.+ Who, then, is to have the things you stored up?’+

28 Likewise, just as it occurred in the days of Lot:+ they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building.

32 If, like men,* I have fought with wild beasts at Ephʹe·sus,+ of what good is it to me? If the dead are not to be raised up, “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we are to die.”+
