SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:1–58: Believers will rise from the dead

In this section Paul reminded the Corinthian believers about the gospel and showed them that the resurrection from the dead was an important part of the gospel. First (15:1–11) he wrote about the evidence showing that God raised Christ from the dead. Then (15:12–34) he taught that God will raise believers from the dead. Finally (15:35–58) he taught about what the resurrection body will be like.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The resurrection

People who die will live again

Christ has risen and his people will rise also

Paragraph 15:3–8

In this paragraph Paul reminded the Corinthians of four important events that form the gospel message:

Christ died for our sins.
They buried his body.
He came back to life on the third day.
Many people saw him after he came back to life.

15:5

and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.

Then Jesus appeared to Cephas, and then he appeared to the twelve apostles.
Then Peter and all of the twelve apostles saw him alive.

and that: The word that introduces the fourth of the four events that form the gospel message.

He appeared to Cephas: The phrase He appeared to Cephas indicates that after his resurrection Jesus came to Cephas and allowed Cephas to see him alive.

Cephas: Cephas is another name for Jesus’ disciple Simon Peter. You may wish to follow the GNT and use the better-known name Peter here.

and then to the Twelve: Jesus also appeared to the other apostles. Cephas/Peter was one of the Twelve. The phrase the Twelve refers to the original twelve disciples. Paul used this phrase even though Judas was no longer with them.

Here are some other ways to translate these phrases:

he made himself appear to Cephas and then to the twelve apostles

Cephas and the rest of the twelve apostles saw that he was alive

after he came back to life Cephas and the other twelve apostles saw him

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὤφθη Κηφᾷ, εἶτα τοῖς δώδεκα

˱he˲_˓was˒_seen ˱by˲_Cephas thereafter ˱to˲_the twelve

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form to emphasize the person being seen rather than focusing on those who do the “seeing.” Alternate translation: [Cephas and then the Twelve saw him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς δώδεκα

˱to˲_the twelve

Here, the Twelve refers to twelve disciples that Jesus specially chose to represent him and to be with him. We know the Twelve includes Cephas, and it also includes Judas, who betrayed Jesus and killed himself. Paul uses the Twelve as a reference to this group in general. He is not excluding Peter or including Judas. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to “the rest of” or “the remaining members of” the Twelve. Alternate translation: [by the remaining members of the Twelve]
