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 / activepassive

ὑποταγῇ & τὰ πάντα

/may_be/_subjected & the_‹things› all

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 here to focus on all things that are subjected, rather than focusing on the one doing the “subjecting.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “God” does it. Alternate translation: “God has subjected all things”

Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

ὁ Υἱὸς

the Son

Paul here refers to God the Son as opposed to God “the Father,” whom he referred to in 15:24. Use a translation that clearly refers to God the Son. Alternate translation: “God’s Son”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Υἱὸς, ὑποταγήσεται

also himself the Son /will_be_being/_subjected

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 here to focus on the Son who is subjected, rather than focusing on the one doing the “subjecting.” If you must state who does the action, Paul could imply that: (1) the Son does it to himself. Alternate translation: “the Son will also subject himself” (2) “God” does it. Alternate translation: “God will subject the Son himself also”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

αὐτὸς ὁ Υἱὸς

himself the Son

Here, himself focuses attention on the Son and emphasizes that the Son is the one doing this. If himself would not draw attention to the Son in your language, you could express the attention or focus in another way. Alternate translation: “even the Son” or “the Son indeed”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ ὑποτάξαντι αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα

˱to˲_the_‹one› /having/_subjected ˱to˲_him the_‹things› all

Here, just as in 15:27, the Corinthians would have known that the one having subjected all things is God the Father. If your readers would not make this inference, you could include an explicit reference to “God.” Alternate translation: “to the one who subjected all things to him, that is, God,”

ὁ Θεὸς

the ¬the God

Here, God could refer to: (1) God the Father specifically. Alternate translation: “God the Father” (2) all three persons that are God. Alternate translation: “the Trinity” or “the trinitarian God”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν

all all all_‹things› in all_‹things›

Here, all in all is a phrase that emphasizes that God rules and controls everything that exists. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express all in all with a comparable phrase that refers to how God rules and controls all things. Alternate translation: “supreme” or “the one who rules all things”
