Paul quoted a "Greek Poete"??? (1Cor15:33)
#1
Shlama w Shaina,

i am reading barner's note (biblical comentary) out here http://barnes.biblecommenter.com/1_corinthians/15.htm on 1cor 15:33 look what the explenation says:

Quote:Evil communications - The word rendered "communications" means, properly, a being together; companionship; close contact; converse. It refers not to discourse only, but to contact, or companionship. Paul quotes these words from Menander (in Sentent. Comicor. Greek p. 248, ed. Steph.), a Greek poet. He thus shows that he was, in some degree at least, familiar with the Greek writers; compare the note on Acts 17:28. Menander was a celebrated comic poet of Athens, educated under Theophrastus. His writings were replete with elegance, refined wit, and judicious observations. Of one hundred and eight comedies which he wrote, nothing remains but a few fragments. He is said to have drowned himself, in the 52nd year of his age, 293 b.c.,
