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 / ellipsis

οἷος ὁ χοϊκός, τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ χοϊκοί; καὶ οἷος ὁ ἐπουράνιος, τοιοῦτοι καὶ οἱ ἐπουράνιοι

such_as the earthy_‹one› such also the earthy_‹ones› and such_as the heavenly_‹one› such also the heavenly_‹ones›

In this verse, Paul does not use any verbs. He does this because he did not need verbs in his culture to state that the earthly and the ones of earth are the same kind of thing and that the heavenly and the ones of heaven are the same kind of thing. If your language does not need verbs or other words to state that two different things or groups belong together as the same kind of thing, you can use those verbs or words here. Alternate translation: “The earthly and those of the earth are of the same type; and the heavenly and those of heaven are of the same type” or “As the earthly exists, in the same way those of the earth exist; and as the heavenly exists, in the way those of heaven exist”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ὁ χοϊκός & ὁ ἐπουράνιος

the earthy_‹one› & the heavenly_‹one›

Paul is using the adjectives earthly and heavenly as nouns in order to refer back to the “first man” (who is “of the earth”) and the “second man” (who is “of heaven”) from the previous verse (15:47). Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these with noun phrases that refer back to those people. Alternate translation: “the earthly first man … the heavenly second man”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ χοϊκοί

the earthy_‹ones›

Here, the ones of earth refers to people who are not united to Jesus and who thus belong to the earth. Paul uses this language to connect these people with the earthly first man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the ones of earth with a word or phrase that clarifies that the ones of earth describes people who are represented by Adam, not by Jesus. Alternate translation: “those of the earth who are represented by him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

οἱ χοϊκοί & οἱ ἐπουράνιοι

the earthy_‹ones› & the heavenly_‹ones›

Here, the ones of earth and the ones of heaven refer to people who are “earthly” and “heavenly.” This means that earth is the proper home of the ones of earth, while heaven is the proper home of the ones of heaven. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form with adjectives such as “earthly” or “heavenly,” or you could refer to the “home” of these people. Alternate translation: “those who are earthly … those who are heavenly” or “those whose home is on earth … those whose home is in heaven”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ ἐπουράνιοι

the the heavenly_‹ones›

Here, the ones of heaven refers to people who are united to Jesus and who thus belong to heaven, as Jesus does. Paul uses this language to connect these people with the heavenly second man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the ones of heaven with a word or phrase that clarifies that the ones of heaven describes people who are represented by Jesus, not by Adam. Alternate translation: “those of heaven, who are represented by Jesus”
