The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

The Resurrection of Christ 1 Corinthians 15:0 There is no need of any other creed than that which is to be found within the four corners of this chapter. It would be easy to show that all Christian history, all Christian thought, all Christian doctrine, may be found in these fifty-eight verses. We have the Old Testament; we have the revelation of Christ, and the work of Christ in every aspect; we have the counteraction of the old Adamic failure: we have the rule and kingship of the Son of God;... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:12-19

Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? (13) But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: (14) And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. (15) Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. (16) For if the dead rise not, then is not... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:13-23

He brings many reasons to convince them of the resurrection. 1. If there be no resurrection for others, Christ is not risen again: but his resurrection (as he tells them ver. 4) was foretold in the Scriptures. 2. And if Christ be not risen again,...your faith is also in vain, this being one of the chief articles of your belief. 3. We should be found guilty of lies and impostures; and yet we have confirmed this doctrine by many miracles. 4. It would follow that you are not freed from your ... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:12-19

12-19 Having shown that Christ was risen, the apostle answers those who said there would be no resurrection. There had been no justification, or salvation, if Christ had not risen. And must not faith in Christ be vain, and of no use, if he is still among the dead? The proof of the resurrection of the body is the resurrection of our Lord. Even those who died in the faith, had perished in their sins, if Christ had not risen. All who believe in Christ, have hope in him, as a Redeemer; hope for... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:1-99

1Co 15 THE OPENING WORDS of chapter 15 appear at first sight rather extraordinary. Why, we may ask, should the Apostle declare the Gospel to people who had already received it? There was, we believe a little wholesome irony in his words, as also there had been in 1Co_14:37 , 1Co_14:38 of the previous chapter. As we have noticed several times previously the Corinthians had inflated ideas of themselves, their gifts and accomplishments, so the Spirit of God confronted them with realities. The... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Corinthians 15:12-19

The resurrection of Christ basic for the Christian's faith: v. 12. Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? v. 13. But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen; v. 14. and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. v. 15. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He raised not... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Corinthians 15:1-28

XVIDOCTRINE OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEADA. Refutation of its deniers(1) from the well attested facts of the resurrection of Christ, which with all connected therewith, pre-supposes its possibility, and is the pledge of its actual occurrence1 Corinthians 15:1-281     Moreover, brethren, I declare [make known, γνωρίζω] unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have [om. have] received, and wherein ye stand [have been standing, ἑστήκατε]; 2By which also ye are [being] saved,... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:12-28

Christ’s Resurrection Assures Ours 1 Corinthians 15:12-28 The argument here goes to show, first, that our resurrection is intimately connected with Christ’s. There must be such a thing, because he, as the representative of humanity, arose from the dead, in a human body which, though more ethereal in its texture, was easily recognizable by those who had known Him previously. Mary was recalled by the well-known intonations of her Master’s voice. Thomas was compelled to believe, in spite of his... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

The last fact of the "spiritualities" is the resurrection, and the apostle first gives the proof of the resurrection of Christ. His final proof was his own experience. It is evident that there were some in the Corinthian Church who were holding rationalistic views and denying resurrection. To deny resurrection is, of course, to deny Christ's resurrection, and to do this is to do away with Christianity. If Christ rose not, then the apostolic testimony concerning God is false, for that has been... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:1-28

The Glorious Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1-28 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Apostle Paul said: "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand." 1. Paul had received his Gospel from Heaven. He proclaimed that which God had given him. For this cause Paul spoke of his Gospel as the Gospel of Christ. He certified that it was not after man, saying, "I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of... read more
