‏ 1 Corinthians 15:33

 Be not deceived ( μη πλανασθε ). Do not be led astray ( πλαναω ) by such a false philosophy of life.

 Evil company ( ομιλια κακα ). Evil companionships. Old word,  ομιλια, from  ομιλος (a crowd, gang, bunch). Only here in N.T. Good manners ( ηθη ). Old word (kin to  εθος ) custom, usage, morals. Good morals here. This line of poetry (iambic) occurs in Menander. It may be a current proverb. Paul could have gotten it from either source.
