Exegesis
The hortatory sequence phagomen kai piomen {Φάγωμεν καὶ πίωμεν | PHÁ-gō-men kaí PÍ-ō-men} ‘let us eat and drink’ employs aorist subjunctives for exhortation, followed by aurion gar apothneskomen {αὔριον γὰρ ἀποθνῄσκομεν | AÚ-ri-on gar a-po-thnḗ-sko-men} ‘for tomorrow we die’, where gar functions as causal conjunction. The asyndetic shift from question to exhortation highlights the contrast between unfulfilled resurrection hope and indulgent resignation.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:32
If, in human terms , I fought with wild beasts in Ephesus, what is the benefit to me if the dead are not raised? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
