1 Corinthians 15:4

1 Corinthians 15:4

2 ^aby which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless ^byou believed in vain.

3 For ^aI delivered to you first of all that ^bwhich I also received: that Christ died for our sins ^caccording to the Scriptures,

4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day ^aaccording to the Scriptures,

5 ^aand that He was seen by¹ Cephas, then ^bby the twelve.

6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have¹ fallen asleep.

7 After that He was seen by James, then ^aby all the apostles.

8 ^aThen last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

buried . . . rose again—His burial is more closely connected with His resurrection than His death. At the moment of His death, the power of His inextinguishable life exerted itself (Matthew 27:52). The grave was to Him not the destined receptacle of corruption, but an apartment fitted for entering into life (Acts 2:26-28) [BENGEL].

rose again—Greek, "hath risen": the state thus begun, and its consequences, still continue.
