resurrection. I. ITS CAUSE . Christ—the second Adam. Through the first Adam, death; through the second Adam, the resurrection from the dead. We see how much depends upon Christ, how much upon his resurrection. Through him we expect to rise; but if he did not rise, how can we rise through him? "But now is Christ risen," and so our prospect is unclouded. He has passed through the grave to make a way for us. He found the bonds of death strong; we shall find them broken. He lives, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:22

As in Adam all die. All of us partake of Adam's nature, and are therefore liable to the death which that nature incurred as the law and condition of its humanity. In Christ shall all be made alive. It is St. Paul's invariable habit to isolate his immediate subject; to think and to treat of one topic at a time. He is not here thinking directly and immediately of the resurrection in general. In this verse, writing to Christians who are "in Christ," he is only thinking and speaking of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:23

In his own order. The word in classic Greek means "a cohort." Here it must either mean "rank" or be used as in St. Clement ('Ad. Corinthians,' 1:37), in the sense of "order of succession." They that are Christ's. "The dead in Christ" ( 1 Thessalonians 4:16 ). At his coming. The word here used for the second Advent is Parousia, which means literally, presence. It is implied (apparently) both here and in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 ; Revelation 20:5 , that there shall be an... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:22

For as in Adam - (ἐν τῳ Ἀδαμ en tō Adam). By Adam; by the act, or by means of Adam; as a consequence of his act. His deed was the procuring cause, or the reason, why all are subjected to temporal death; see Genesis 3:19. It does not mean that all people became actually dead when he sinned, for they had not then an existence; but it must mean that the death of all can be traced to him as the procuring cause, and that his act made it certain that all that came into the world would be mortal.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:23

But every man - Everyone, including Christ as well as others.In his own order - In his proper order, rank, place, time. The word τάγμα tagma usually relates to military order or array; to the arrangement of a cohort, or band of troops; to their being properly marshalled with the officers at the head, and every man in His proper place in the ranks. Here it means that there was a proper “order” to be observed in the resurrection of the dead. And the design of the apostle is, probably, to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 15:20-22

1 Corinthians 15:20-22. But now is Christ risen Here the apostle declares that Christians have hope not in this life only. His proof of the resurrection lies in a narrow compass, 1 Corinthians 15:12-19. Almost all the rest of the chapter is taken up in illustrating, vindicating, and applying it. The proof is short, but solid and convincing, namely, that which arose from Christ’s resurrection. Now this not only proved a resurrection possible, but, as it proved him to be a divine teacher, it... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 15:23

1 Corinthians 15:23. But every man Shall be reanimated, raised, and glorified; in his own order Or in his own band, as τω ιδιω ταγματι more properly signifies, denoting a band of soldiers, a cohort, or legion; the word for order being rather ταξις . According to this interpretation, it is here intimated that the righteous will be raised by themselves, and the wicked by themselves; that is, according to the next verse, the righteous are to be raised at Christ’s coming, or are to be first... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:12-28

A guarantee of final victory (15:12-28)To those who claim there will be no bodily resurrection of the dead, Paul replies that if this is true it means that Christ has not been raised. In that case the gospel he preaches is not true and the believer’s faith is without foundation (12-14). Furthermore, it means that the preachers of the gospel have misled their hearers. For if Christ has not been raised from the dead, he is certainly not the victorious Saviour. He has not conquered sin; sin has... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - 1 Corinthians 15:22

Adam . Literally the Adam. all die . By virtue of their relationship to Adam. See Romans 5:12-19 . even so, &c . = so in Christ also. Christ also has a relationship to the human race. It is that of Lordship (Romans 14:9 ). This is acknowledged by some now (John 13:13 ; John 20:28 ), and brings salvation (Romans 10:9 ). It is the work of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:3 ). Hence Judas only said, "Master" (Matthew 26:25 , Matthew 26:49 ). The natural man rebels against such... read more
