TSNTyndale Study Notes:

15:1-58 Some people in the church had doubts about a future resurrection of the dead. Paul reassures them and, perhaps in response to their skeptical questions, discusses the nature of a resurrection body.

TTNTyndale 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).

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

οὕτως καὶ

thus also

Here, So also introduces Paul’s explanation of how what he has said in 15:36–41 about seeds and bodies applies to the resurrection of the dead. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express So also with a word or phrase that introduces the application of an illustration or example. Alternate translation: [It is in these terms that you should think about] or [Let us apply these things to]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ ἀνάστασις τῶν νεκρῶν

the resurrection ˱of˲_the dead

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind resurrection, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “resurrect” or “live again.” Alternate translation: [the way in which the dead will resurrect] or [how the dead will be restored to life]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν νεκρῶν

˱of˲_the dead

Paul is using the adjective dead as a noun in order to refer to all people who are dead. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [of the dead people] or [of the corpses]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σπείρεται ἐν φθορᾷ

˱it˲_/is_being/_sown in corruption

Here Paul speaks as if a dead body were sown like a seed. He speaks in this way to connect how a dead body is buried in the ground with how a seed is sown in the ground. However, Paul does not continue the metaphor when he talks about how the body is raised, since those are his normal words for speaking about resurrection. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express is sown with a comparable phrase that applies to both seeds and human bodies, or you could express the idea using an analogy. Alternate translation: [The body that is put in the ground in decay, just like a seed,] or [What is planted in decay]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σπείρεται ἐν φθορᾷ, ἐγείρεται

˱it˲_/is_being/_sown in corruption ˱it˲_/is_being/_raised

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 here to focus on the body that is sown and raised rather than focusing on the people who do those actions. If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “people” do the sowing and “God” does the raising. Alternate translation: [What people sow in decay God raises]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν φθορᾷ, ἐγείρεται ἐν ἀφθαρσίᾳ

in corruption ˱it˲_/is_being/_raised in indestructibility

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas behind decay and immortality, you can express the ideas by using verbs such as “decay” or “die.” Alternate translation: [while it decays is raised so that it never decays again] or [when it dies is raised in such a way that it never dies]
