When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives.

 Good morning. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. Adam blew it, but Jesus did not. Adam had only one command – don't eat! Jesus had 10 Commandments - He did not fail. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. Because Adam sinned, everyone dies. Because Christ did not sin, those that believe in Him shall be made alive, even if they do die. First Christ was made alive; then those who are His will be made alive at His coming. Then comes the end when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, after He has abolished all rule, authority, and power. The last enemy that will be abolished is death. Then the famous "bad company corrupts good morals". That is oh so true. Once in a while it is the other way around; but almost always it is true. Seldom does associating with good people change a bad person's heart. It is much easier to go lax on your standards when you associate with people that are doing wrong things. Because you like them, you start to think that what they do is not all that bad. Then you start to imitate them, and get angry if someone corrects you. He then chastises them saying "become sober minded and stop sinning". Pertaining to the resurrection of the dead: it is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body. Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly. Then we have the following promise: we will not all sleep but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. That is our promise. You can take it to the bank. "Oh death where is your victory? Oh death, where is your sting"?, Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! Father thank You that we can have confidence in You - that You will raise us from the dead one day. Thank You that we do not have to walk in fear of death. And because of the reader's confidence in You, others will be drawn to You and commit their lives to Christ.
