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 / hyperbole

καθ’ ἡμέραν ἀποθνῄσκω

in_every day ˱I˲_/am/_dying_off

Here Paul speaks as if he “dies” every day. Paul does not experience death every single day, but he speaks in this way to emphasize that he could die at many different times. He speaks in this way to emphasize how often he experiences danger and risks losing his life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind I die every day plainly and include the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “I face death all the time” or “I am in danger of dying very often”

νὴ τὴν ὑμετέραν καύχησιν

by ¬the your boasting

Here, by introduces a person or thing that a person swears by to prove the truth of a claim. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express by with a word or phrase that introduces an oath or a strong claim to truth. Alternate translation: “which is as true as the boasting in you” or “which I promise is as true as the boasting in you”

τὴν ὑμετέραν καύχησιν

¬the your boasting

Alternate translation: “my boasting about you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀδελφοί

brothers

Although brothers is in masculine form, Paul is using it to refer to any believer, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express brothers with a non gendered word or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: “brothers and sisters”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν

in Christ Jesus the Lord ˱of˲_us

Here Paul uses the spatial metaphor in Christ Jesus our Lord to describe the union of believers with Christ. In this case, being in Christ, or united to Christ, identifies Paul’s boasting as something that only matters or is valid in his union with Christ. Alternate translation: “in union with Christ Jesus our Lord” or “because I am united to Christ Jesus our Lord”
