George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:13-23

He brings many reasons to convince them of the resurrection. 1. If there be no resurrection for others, Christ is not risen again: but his resurrection (as he tells them ver. 4) was foretold in the Scriptures. 2. And if Christ be not risen again,...your faith is also in vain, this being one of the chief articles of your belief. 3. We should be found guilty of lies and impostures; and yet we have confirmed this doctrine by many miracles. 4. It would follow that you are not freed from your ... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:20-34

20-34 All that are by faith united to Christ, are by his resurrection assured of their own. As through the sin of the first Adam, all men became mortal, because all had from him the same sinful nature, so, through the resurrection of Christ, shall all who are made to partake of the Spirit, and the spiritual nature, revive, and live for ever. There will be an order in the resurrection. Christ himself has been the first-fruits; at his coming, his redeemed people will be raised before others; at... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:1-99

1Co 15 THE OPENING WORDS of chapter 15 appear at first sight rather extraordinary. Why, we may ask, should the Apostle declare the Gospel to people who had already received it? There was, we believe a little wholesome irony in his words, as also there had been in 1Co_14:37 , 1Co_14:38 of the previous chapter. As we have noticed several times previously the Corinthians had inflated ideas of themselves, their gifts and accomplishments, so the Spirit of God confronted them with realities. The... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Corinthians 15:20-28

A victorious line of argument: v. 20. But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the First-fruits of them that slept. v. 21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. v. 22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. v. 23. But every man in his own order: Christ the First-fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at His coming. v. 24. Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Corinthians 15:1-28

XVIDOCTRINE OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEADA. Refutation of its deniers(1) from the well attested facts of the resurrection of Christ, which with all connected therewith, pre-supposes its possibility, and is the pledge of its actual occurrence1 Corinthians 15:1-281     Moreover, brethren, I declare [make known, γνωρίζω] unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have [om. have] received, and wherein ye stand [have been standing, ἑστήκατε]; 2By which also ye are [being] saved,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:12-28

Christ’s Resurrection Assures Ours 1 Corinthians 15:12-28 The argument here goes to show, first, that our resurrection is intimately connected with Christ’s. There must be such a thing, because he, as the representative of humanity, arose from the dead, in a human body which, though more ethereal in its texture, was easily recognizable by those who had known Him previously. Mary was recalled by the well-known intonations of her Master’s voice. Thomas was compelled to believe, in spite of his... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

The last fact of the "spiritualities" is the resurrection, and the apostle first gives the proof of the resurrection of Christ. His final proof was his own experience. It is evident that there were some in the Corinthian Church who were holding rationalistic views and denying resurrection. To deny resurrection is, of course, to deny Christ's resurrection, and to do this is to do away with Christianity. If Christ rose not, then the apostolic testimony concerning God is false, for that has been... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:1-28

The Glorious Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1-28 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Apostle Paul said: "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand." 1. Paul had received his Gospel from Heaven. He proclaimed that which God had given him. For this cause Paul spoke of his Gospel as the Gospel of Christ. He certified that it was not after man, saying, "I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:22

'For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.' As a result of being 'in Adam' all men are dying. His sin and its taint carries through from generation to generation. All sin, and all are dying and will die. This is the due result of Adam's first sin, and of our connection with him. But in Christ a transformation has now taken place. Those who are in Christ, that is who have believed in Him, who have responded to Him, and who have come to Him through the cross, will all be... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:20-28

1 Corinthians 15:20-Hosea : . But why discuss this further? Christ has been raised, the firstfruits of the rest of the dead, thus, as one with them, pledging their resurrection. If man brought death, resurrection must equally come through man. The whole race died in Adam, the whole race will be raised from the dead in Christ. This universal resurrection will not be accomplished all at once but in stages according to the different classes concerned. In the first stage there is Christ... read more
