1 Corinthians 15:33
1 Corinthians 15:33 (KJV) Be
not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
The following ten modern versions have not translated 1 Corinthians 15:33 from
the Greek Texts, instead they took the quote directly from a Greek Comic
Playwright named Menander.

“Menander (342-291 B.C.) was an Athenian comic playwright. He was the
acknowledged master of the so-called New Comedy in Greece. Famed for his
realistic portrayal of situations and characters, he greatly influenced later
comic dramatists.
Until the end of the 19th century Menander was known only through short
quotations from his plays, many of which had survived as maxims collected in
anthologies. Among them were "Whom the gods love die young" and "Bad
associates spoil a good character."’
