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: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, For introduces Paul’s explanation of how Christ “abolishes all rule and all authority and power” (15:24). If it would be helpful in your language, you could express For with a word or phrase that introduces further explanation. Alternate translation: [Specifically,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δεῖ & αὐτὸν βασιλεύειν

˱it˲_/is/_fitting & him /to_be/_reigning

Here Paul does not explain why Christ must reign. He implies that it is because this is what God the Father has decided. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind what must implies explicitly. Alternate translation: [God chose that Christ will reign]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄχρι οὗ θῇ πάντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ

until ˱of˲_which ˱he˲_/may/_put all his enemies under the feet ˱of˲_him

Here Paul speaks as if Christ will one day stand on or rest his feet on the enemies. In Paul’s culture, kings or generals might stand on or put their feet on leaders that they conquered. This showed that these leaders were indeed conquered and had to submit to the king or general who conquered them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express put all the enemies under his feet with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [until he has subdued all his enemies] or [until he has conquered all his enemies and put them under his feet]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

θῇ

˱he˲_/may/_put

Every he and his in this verse refers to Christ except for perhaps this one. Here, he could refer to: (1) Christ, who puts his own enemies under his feet. Alternate translation: [he himself has put] (2) God (the Father), who puts enemies under Christ’s feet. Alternate translation: [God has put]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τοὺς ἐχθροὺς

his enemies

Here, the enemies refers most specifically to the enemies of Christ, but it may also include the enemies of believers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express that the enemies refers to the enemies of Christ and his people with an appropriate possessive form here. Alternate translation: [his enemies] or [his and believers’ enemies]
