TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Resurrection of the Dead

Jesus spoke of a future resurrection of all people—either to eternal life or to judgment (Mark 12:26-27; John 5:28-29; 6:39-40, 44, 54; 11:25-26; cp. Luke 20:34-36). When Christ returns, all his people will be resurrected to be with him forever (1 Thes 4:13-18; cp. 2 Cor 5:1-10).

This strong hope characterized the outlook of the early Christians. They were able to endure their suffering because their eyes were fixed on what lay beyond this life (2 Cor 4:16-18; cp. Heb 12:2). They expected Jesus to return and resurrect their bodies, and they looked forward to living with him forever (1 Pet 1:3-6, 23). Their faith was based on the foundation of Jesus’ own bodily resurrection (1 Cor 15:12-20; Acts 4:33; see also 2 Cor 4:14).

Resurrection bodies will be fundamentally different from the bodies we experience in this life, with all of their limitations and failings. These renewed bodies will be glorious, strong, immortal, and spiritual, like Christ’s own resurrection body (1 Cor 15:35-58).

Because they are already joined to Christ, believers actually begin to experience resurrection existence here and now. They have already been “raised” with Christ; they have already been given “resurrection life” (Rom 6:4-11; 8:10-11; Col 2:12). As a result, their lives are now centered in the spiritual realities of heaven rather than in worldly things (Col 3:1-4). Believers can experience the transforming power of that new life here and now, the new life of the Spirit that frees them from the power of sin and death (Rom 8:1-4). In all the difficulties they face, their trust is not in themselves but in the resurrection power of God (2 Cor 1:9).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ τέλος

the end

Here, the end identifies that something has reached its goal and thus ended. Paul does not state explicitly what end he has in mind, but the Corinthians would have inferred that he meant the end of the world as it currently exists. This does not mean that there will be no more world, but it means that things will be very different after the end. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind what end Paul is speaking about explicitly. Alternate translation: “the end of this world” or “the end of the way things are now”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ὅταν παραδιδῷ τὴν Βασιλείαν τῷ Θεῷ καὶ Πατρί; ὅταν καταργήσῃ πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν, καὶ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν, καὶ δύναμιν

whenever ˱he˲_/may_be/_giving_over the whenever (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶτα τὸ τέλος ὅταν παραδιδῷ τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Θεῷ καὶ Πατρί ὅταν καταργήσῃ πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν καὶ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν καὶ δύναμιν)

Here, when he has abolished will occur before when he hands over. In Paul’s language, the sequence is clear even though the events are not in order. If your language would put the events in order, you could rearrange these two clauses to make the sequence clearer. Alternate translation: “when he has abolished all rule and all authority and power, when he hands over the kingdom to the God and Father”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

παραδιδῷ & καταργήσῃ

˱he˲_/may_be/_giving_over & ˱he˲_/may/_nullify

Here, he refers to “Christ.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express to whom he refers with “Christ” in one or both of these places. Alternate translation: “Christ hands over … Christ has abolished”

Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τῷ Θεῷ καὶ Πατρί

¬the ˱to˲_God even /the/_Father

Here, God and Father are two names for the same person. The name Father makes it clear that Paul is speaking about “God the Father” to distinguish him from “God the Son,” who is the one who hands over the kingdom. Use a word or phrase here that clearly names “God the Father.” Alternate translation: “God the Father”

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

καταργήσῃ

˱he˲_/may/_nullify

Here, abolished refers to making someone or something ineffective or no longer in control. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express abolished with a word or phrase that indicates that the Messiah has conquered or made something ineffective. Alternate translation: “he has overcome” or “he has put an end to”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν, καὶ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν, καὶ δύναμιν

all beginning and all authority and power

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas behind rule, authority, and power, you can express the idea by using verbs such as “rule,” “govern,” and “control.” Paul is speaking here about the position or ability to have rule and authority and power, so you can refer to the position or ability itself, or you can refer to the person or thing that fills that position or has that ability. Alternate translation: “all ruling and all governing and controlling” or “all those who rule and all those who govern and control”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν, καὶ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν, καὶ δύναμιν

all beginning and all authority and power

Here, rule, authority, and power could identify: (1) any position or person that has rule, authority, and power. Alternate translation: “all positions of rule and all positions of authority and power” (2) powerful spiritual beings that have rule, authority, and power or that are called “rules,” “authorities,” and “powers.” Alternate translation: “all the powerful spiritual beings that exercise rule and authority and power” or “all spiritual beings and all angels and archangels”

πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν, καὶ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν, καὶ δύναμιν

all beginning and all authority and power

Here Paul includes all with the first two items in the list but not with the third item. He does this to connect the last two items together, which means that all modifies both authority and power. If you can group the last two items closely together, you could do so here. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express why Paul uses all with only two of the three items with one all to modify the whole list, or you could repeat all with each item. Alternate translation: “all rule and authority and power” or “all rule and all authority and all power”
