1 Korintus 15:12

No Resurrection?

15:12 Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead, ¹¹  how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?

1 Korintus 15:29

15:29 Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? ¹²  If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they baptized for them?

1 Korintus 15:31

15:31 Every day I am in danger of death! This is as sure as ¹³  my boasting in you, ¹⁴  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[3:1]  ¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[3:1]  ² tn Grk “fleshly [people]”; the Greek term here is σαρκινός (BDAG 914 s.v. 1).

[5:1]  ³ tn Or “someone has married”; Grk “someone has,” but the verb ἔχω (ecw) is routinely used of marital relationships (cf. BDAG 420 s.v. 2.a), including sexual relationships. The exact nature of the relationship is uncertain in this case; it is not clear, for example, whether the man had actually married the woman or was merely cohabiting with her.

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “to decide between his brother (and his opponent),” but see the note on the word “Christian” in 5:11.

[7:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “will save your husband?” The meaning is obviously that the wife would be the human agent in leading her husband to salvation.

[7:17]  ⁷ tn Or “only”; Grk “if not.”

[7:39]  ⁸ tn The verb κοιμάω (koimaw) literally means “sleep,” but it is often used in the Bible as a euphemism for the death of a believer.

[15:12]  ¹¹ tn Grk “that he has been raised from the dead.”

[15:29]  ¹² sn Many suggestions have been offered for the puzzling expression baptized for the dead. There are up to 200 different explanations for the passage; a summary is given by K. C. Thompson, “I Corinthians 15,29 and Baptism for the Dead,” Studia Evangelica 2.1 (TU 87), 647-59. The most likely interpretation is that some Corinthians had undergone baptism to bear witness to the faith of fellow believers who had died without experiencing that rite themselves. Paul’s reference to the practice here is neither a recommendation nor a condemnation. He simply uses it as evidence from the lives of the Corinthians themselves to bolster his larger argument, begun in 15:12, that resurrection from the dead is a present reality in Christ and a future reality for them. Whatever they may have proclaimed, the Corinthians’ actions demonstrated that they had hope for a bodily resurrection.

Thus, the shorter reading is slightly preferred.
