Read 1 Corinthians 15 in the Bible1 Corinthians 15:32
Let us eat and drink.
◦ S. Ambrose applieth these words to our Christian Epicureans that take away fasting, and deny the merit thereof: How can we be saved (saith he) if we wash not away our sins by fasting, seeing the scriptures say, fasting and alms deliver from sin? What are these new masters then that exclude all merit of fasting? Is not this the very voice of the heathen saying, Let us eat and drink, tomorrow we shall die? li. 10. epist. ep. 82.
- ◦ Fasting is meritorious.

1 Corinthians 15:10
With me.
[1] God useth not man as a brute beast or a block: but so worketh in him and by him that free-will may concur in every action with his grace, which is always the principal. The heretics to avoid this concurrence in working & labouring, translate [2], which is with me: where the Apostle rather saith, which laboureth with me.
