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.
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).

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δὲ
and
Here, But introduces a clarification or further elaboration. It does not introduce a contrast with the quotations in the previous two verses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express But with a word or phrase that introduces a clarification or elaboration, or you could leave it untranslated. Alternate translation: “Now”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸ & κέντρον τοῦ θανάτου ἡ ἁμαρτία
the & /the/_sting ¬the ˱of˲_death_‹is› ¬the sin
Here, the sting of death refers back to the same words in the quote in 15:56. Express the metaphor the same you did there. Alternate translation: “the pain that death causes comes from sin” or “death’s ability to harm is sin”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τοῦ θανάτου ἡ ἁμαρτία
¬the ˱of˲_death_‹is› ¬the sin
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas behind death and sin, you can express the ideas by using verbs such as “die” and “sin.” Alternate translation: “that leads to dying is how people sin”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
(Occurrence 2) ἡ & δύναμις τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὁ νόμος
the & /the/_power ¬the ˱of˲_sin_‹is› the law
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas behind power and sin, you can express the ideas by using verbs such as “empower” and “sin.” Alternate translation: “the law makes what make people do wrong powerful” or “it is the law that empowers how people sin”
