1 Corinthians 15:25 NIV

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 15:20-28

The positive reality 15:20-28Paul turned next to show that the resurrection of Christ makes the resurrection of believers both necessary and inevitable. The consequences of this fact are as glorious as the effects of His not being raised are dismal. Those "in Christ" must arise since Christ arose. His resurrection was in the past, but ours will be in the future. Christ’s resurrection set in motion the defeat of all God’s enemies including death. His resurrection demands our resurrection since... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 15:24-26

The end refers to the end of the present heavens and earth in view of what Paul said about it here. This will come more than 1,000 years after the Rapture. Then Christ, who will have been reigning over His earthly millennial kingdom, will turn over that reign to His Father. Christ’s abolition of all other rule, authority, and power will take place when He subdues the rebels that rise up against Him at the end of the Millennium (Revelation 20:7-10). He will also defeat death, and from then on no... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

(f) The Fact and the Doctrine of the Resurrection of the DeadSome Corinthians disbelieved in the resurrection of the dead—not, apparently, in Christ’s Resurrection, though St. Paul felt this would soon follow, but in their own future resurrection. This occasioned him to write this grand chapter, which has cheered the hearts of so many mourners, read, as the greater part of it is, at the burial of the dead. He first (1 Corinthians 15:1-11) repeats the historical evidence for Christ’s... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Corinthians 15:24-28

(24-28) When he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father.—The Apostle carries on the thought of a triumph which the use of the word “troop” in the previous verse had commenced or suggested. There rises before the prophetic vision of St. Paul the final triumph of Christ over all evil, over all power, and the Son giving up to the Father (not His humanity, which is “for ever and ever”—Luke 1:32-33) the kingdom of this world, which in His humanity He conquered for the Father as... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Corinthians 15:25

(25) He must reign.—It is a moral consequence. God must triumph, and so the Son must reign and conquer till that triumph be complete. Some suggest that the force of these words is that He must reign, &c., because it has been prophesied (Ps. ex.); but the more obvious truth is that it was prophesied because it is morally necessary. read more

What Is the Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1 I. A Gospel of Mercy. It is a Gospel of mercy. There are three points about it. (a) Its efficacy. 'The Gospel which ye have received, and wherein ye stand.' The first Christians received this great message of God's truth as coming not from man. It was not St Paul's Gospel; he merely handed it on. It could not be improved by his own witness. This message the people received, and on the strength and truth of this message they stood. So the Christian today... read more

Chapter 21THE RESURRECTION OF CHRISTI. ITS PLACE IN THE CHRISTIAN CREEDPAUL having now settled the minor questions of order in public worship, marriage, intercourse with the heathen, and the other various difficulties which were distracting the Corinthian Church, turns at last to a matter of prime importance and perennial interest: the resurrection of the body. This great subject he handles not in the abstract, but with a view to the particular attitude and beliefs of the Corinthians. Some of... read more

Chapter 23CONSEQUENCES OF DENYING RESURRECTIONIN endeavoring to restore among the Corinthians the belief in the resurrection of the body, Paul shows the fundamental place occupied in the Christian creed by the resurrection of Christ, and what attestation His resurrection had received. He further exhibits certain consequences which flow from denial of the Resurrection. These consequences are (1) that if there is no resurrection of the body, then Christ is not risen, and that, therefore, (2) the... read more
