The Defeat of Death in Paul's Resurrection Thesis takes us back to his original premise that Christ died for our sins. It forms an inclusio for the entirety of the chapter. It's as though Paul has played a musical scale beginning with the root and ending on the octave, sin death from the beginning and sin death in the end. His background text is Hosea 13:14 and the restoration, i.e. resurrection of Israel.
