What are bad companies? (1Co 15:33).

They are the people who make us spoil our good habits, they can make us move away from God. If we want to remain good friends with God, we must not be friends with those who do bad things. Nor should we be friends with those who say they serve Jehovah but disobey him.

According to what the text of 1 Corinthians 15:33 says, a bad company is any person that we put aside the good companies and in our case they can be the people who worship Jehovah, because they do not motivate us to preach to attend meetings and as we see in the video they have bad attitudes for example, they like debauchery, alcoholic beverages and other bad habits. 

"Do not be fooled. Bad company spoils good habits.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33.

As 1 Corinthians 15:33 says, bad companies are those that make us lose good habits, such as inciting us to have fun in a non-Christian or healthy way, endangering our Christian personality.
