		+	*Imagine the following scenario. You are watching a movie in which there is a large abroad on a collision course with earth. The government has kept this astroid a secret up to this point but the secret is about to get out. In the movie the president addresses the nation, the scenes changes to Times Square and on the jumbo screen we see the president tell the world that the end is coming and they have only seven days to live. What scene do you expect next? For most of us we would be surprised if the next scene was not a riot/looting scene. In almost every Hollywood disaster movie, there is a riot scene. Why is that the case?

	To this Paul responds, in verse 34, "sober up!". Some of the Corinthians are so puffed up with their knowledge that they might as well have no knowledge of God, a truly shameful state.		To this Paul responds, in verse 34, "sober up!". Some of the Corinthians are so puffed up with their knowledge that they might as well have no knowledge of God, a truly shameful state.
		+
		+	The NKJV translates the words εκνηατε δικαιως as "awake to righteousness." The ESV translates the words as "wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right." Gardner translates the phrase as "Sober up, as is fitting." The idea here is to return to the right mind. The aorist imperative of the verb indicates a one time command but this does not mean the effects are punctilinear. In fact, the next verb, αμαρταυετε, is in the present imperative indicating that while the command to sober up is a one-time command, the command to stop sinning is a continuous behavior.

 ***Some have argued that this represents an unrecorded event in which Paul was placed in the arena as a punishment.  In particular, the conditional clause is a first-class condition in which the protasis is usually assumed to be true.  However, Paul was a Roman citizen and anyone thrown into the area loses their civil rights <ref> Gardner, Paul. 1 Corinthians: Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament. Edited by Clinton E Arnold. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2018. 695</ref>.  Since Paul appeals to his rights as a Roman in Acts 22:25-29 this seems unlikely.  Another explanation is that Paul was afraid of being thrown into the arena when the riot mentioned in Acts 19:23-41 took place.  Another explanation is that Paul thinks of the wild beasts as elements of spiritual warfare e.g. 1 Peter 5:8.  Regardless of what Paul means it is important that we don't miss the point.  Paul's life was in very real danger every day that he served.  Yet, he continued to serve.  If the resurrection was not real than Paul was not just wasting his time, but wasting his life.
