1. (1-2) Preface to the proclamation of Paul’s gospel.
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. a. The gospel which I preached to you: In verses three and four, Paul will describe the content of the gospel. Here, he describes how the gospel can be of benefit to man. The gospel is only of benefit if it is receivedand if one will standin it. i. The word gospelmea...
2. (3-4) The content of the gospel Paul preached.
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. a. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: Paul did not make up this gospel. He receivedit (and not from man, but from Jesus Christ, according to Galatians 1:11-12), and Paul delivered it. This is not “Paul’s gospel” in the sense that he created it or fashione...
3. (5-8) Concrete evidence of Jesus’ resurrection.
And that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time. a. And that He was seen by Cephas: No one saw the actual resurrection of Jesus. No one was present in the tomb with Him when His body transformed into a resurrection body. If...
1. (12-13) The resurrection of Jesus proves there is a resurrection.
Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. a. Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead: Why did Paul so carefully prove the resurrection of Jesus? It wasn’t because the Corinthian Christians did not believe Jesus rose from the dead. In fact, he makes it clear in 1 Corinthians 15:11 that they did believe it: so...
2. (14-19) What if there is no resurrection?
And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith isfutile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are...
3. (20-23) The resurrection of Jesus was the firstfruit of our resurrection.
But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who areChrist’s at His coming. a. Now Christ is risen from the dead: In the previous part of the chapter, Paul demonstrated beyond all doubt that Jesus rose from the dead, and the...
1. (35) What is the nature of the resurrected body?
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” a. How are the dead raised up?This is a question Paul doesn’t really answer in the following verses, because the answer is obvious. God raises the dead. As Paul said to Agrippa in Acts 26:8, Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead? b. And with what body do they come?This may be a foolish question (Paul calls his imaginary questioner “Foolish one” in 1 Corinthians 15:36), but it is...
2. (36-38) The analogy of the seed.
Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body. a. Foolish one: In the wording of the ancient Greek, it is even stronger: Fools!“A hard knot must have a hard wedge, a dead heart a rousing reproof.” (Trapp) b. What you sow: Paul says our bodies are like “seeds” which “grow” into resurrection bodies. When yo...
3. (39-41) The analogy of living and heavenly bodies.
All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from anotherstar in glory. a. All flesh is not the same flesh: There are all different kinds of “bodies” in G...

May 22, 2003 · First, 1 Corinthians 15 specifies both Jesus’ burial and his resurrection. The burial testifies to Jesus’ death, since normally at least we bury only those who have died. The appearances testify to Jesus’ resurrection. Jesus’ death and resurrection, thus, are tied together in history.
