Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

1 Corinthians 15:1-2 . I declare unto you the gospel by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you. We have here an epitome of the whole gospel, comprising essentially the death of Christ as a sacrifice for sin, and his triumphant resurrection from the dead; these are truths which lie at the foundation of all human hope. The promise of salvation so often repeated to sincere and faithful souls, must always be kept in view. Mark 16:16. Romans 1:16. What consolation... read more

All those agencies in the world which are opposed to God.

1 Corinthians 15:26The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death Death, the last enemy, shall be destroyedI. The nature of that enemy. Consider--1. The dissolution of the human frame. The body is a wonderful machine, which bears the mark of Divine wisdom and skill. If we look upon the Goths and Vandals as the enemies of society because they destroyed the ancient monuments of art, what must we think of death?2. Death puts an end to all that is terrestrial. All schemes and thoughts that relate... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:26

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. Ver. 26. That shall be destroyed ] It is already to the saints swallowed up in victory, so that they may say to it, as Jacob did to Esau, "Surely I have seen thy face as the face of God." This Esau, death, meets a member of Christ with kisses instead of frowns, and guards him home, as he did Jacob to his father’s house. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Corinthians 15:26

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.The last enemy that is destroyed is death — Namely, after Satan, Hebrews 2:14, and sin, 1 Corinthians 15:56, are destroyed. In the same order they prevailed. Satan brought in sin, and sin brought forth death. And Christ, when he of old engaged with these enemies, first conquered Satan, then sin, in his death; and, lastly, death, in his resurrection. In the same order he delivers all the faithful from them, yea, and destroys these enemies... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:20-28

3. Reaffirmation of Christ’s resurrection, and statement of the place of the resurrection in the divine system, 20-28. This sublime passage, preceded by 2 Thessalonians 1:10, and followed by 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 of this chapter, forms a part of what we may call the Apocalypse of St. Paul. It differs from that of St. John as being briefer and more literal; and, because it is more literal, John is to be explained by Paul rather than Paul by John. read more
