15.1Souter, Texts and Studies 9.2 2:212
Notum autem uobis facio, fratres, [quoniam] euangelium, quod praedicaui uobis . Inter cetera quidam Corinthiorum etiam resurrectionem carnis ausi fuerant ex ueteris scientiae praesumptione negare, qui hie ab apostolo arguuntur. Quod et accepistis. Ne illi hoc non credidisse uiderentur uel omnes creditum respuisse. In quo et statis,
“Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you.” Among other things, some of the Corinthians had even dared, out of the presumption of their former learning, to deny the resurrection of the flesh; they are refuted here by the apostle. “Which you also received.” Lest they seem not to have believed this, or all to have rejected what they had believed. “In which you also stand,”
1 Cor 15:1 (quotation, high confidence)

Summary: Paul turns to those Corinthians who denied the resurrection of the flesh.

per quod et saluamini. In cuius doctrina statis, et per quod salutem speratis et in praesenti de diuersis infirmitatibus saepe saluamini. Qua ratione [ante] praedicauerim uobis. Tota ratio praedicationis nostrae haec est, ut resurrectionem credatis: hoc est enim praemium omnium qui Christo deseruiunt. alioquin superfluus omnis labor est ieiuniorum tribulationumque, quas in hac uita patimini, cum uobis hie prospera uel aduersa cum infidelibus esse communia uideantur, sicut et ipsi solent pagani proponere quid ab illis amplius habeamus, et uere est. si horum laborum praemium in uita alia non habemus, peiores illis sumus, quia illi uel in praesenti uoluptatum et luxoriae consolationem habere uide[a]ntur. Si tenetis , nisi frustra credidistis. Si fidei uestrae et laboris praemium non speratis, superflue credidistis.
“through which you are also being saved.” In whose teaching you stand, and through which you hope for salvation, and in the present are often saved from various illnesses. “In what manner I preached to you.” The whole reasoning of our preaching is this, that you believe the resurrection: for this is the reward of all who serve Christ. Otherwise all the labour of the fasts and tribulations that you suffer in this life is superfluous, since prosperity and adversity here seem common to you and to unbelievers. The pagans themselves are accustomed to put it so: what more do we have than they? And it is true: if we do not have the reward of these labours in another life, we are worse off than they, because they at least seem to have the consolation of pleasures and luxury in the present. “If you hold it fast, unless you believed in vain.” If you do not hope for a reward for your faith and labour, you believed to no purpose.
1 Cor 15:2 (quotation, high confidence)

Summary: Without the resurrection, Christian labour and fasting would be pointless.

“And that he was buried.” Isaiah encompasses his burial and resurrection in one sentence, saying: “His burial was taken away from the midst.” “And that he rose on the third day according to the Scriptures.” As Hosea says: “He will revive us after two days, and rising on the third day.”

Deinde uisus est plus quam quingentis fratribus simul, ex quibus multi manent usque adhuc [, quidam autem dormierunt]. Uides quia in euangelio non omnes scriptae sunt uisiones nisi quae sufficerent ad fidem. hie autem, quoniam de apostolis dixerat, etiam hoc addidit, ne apostoli, tamquam intimi[8] eius, putarentur esse mentiti: et ut maior fides multitudini testi[moni]um haberetur, ex quibus etiam multi uiuere dicuntur, qui possi[n]t interrogati dicere quae uiderunt.
“Then he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at once, of whom many remain until now.” You see that in the gospel not all the appearances are written, but only those that suffice for faith. Here, however, since he had spoken of the apostles, he added this too, lest the apostles, as his intimates, be thought to have lied; and so that the testimony might gain greater credibility from a multitude, of whom many are even said to be alive, who could tell what they saw if asked.

15.10Souter, Texts and Studies 9.2 2:214–215
gratia autem dei sum id quod sum. ‘Fili, peccasti : ne adicias iterum, sed et de pristinis deprecare’: unde et per Isaiam dominus dicit : ‘ ego sum qui deleo iniquitates tuas, et non memorabor; tu autem memorare.’ melius est enim dimissa recordari peccata quam detenta obliuisci. Et gratia eius in me egena non fuit. Non fuit sine fructu, sicut in illo qui talentum domini defodit in terra[m]. Sed abundantius illis omnibus laboraui [et obtinui]. Quia illi diutius. Non ego autem, sed gratia dei mecum . Non ego ex me, sed [cum] gratia dei: nec se sine gratia dicit in euangelio laborasse, ne contra id quod superius dixerat, sibi aliquit dare uideretur, nec gratiam sine se, ut liberum seruaret arbitrium.
“but by the grace of God I am what I am.” “Son, you have sinned: do not add to it again, but pray also about your former sins”; hence the Lord says through Isaiah too: “I am he who blots out your iniquities, and I will not remember them; but you, remember.” For it is better to remember sins forgiven than to forget sins retained. “And his grace in me was not empty.” It was not without fruit, as it was in the one who buried his lord's talent in the ground. “But I laboured more abundantly than all of them.” Because they had laboured longer. “Yet not I, but the grace of God with me.” Not I of myself, but the grace of God: he neither says that he laboured in the gospel without grace, lest he seem, against what he had said above, to ascribe something to himself; nor that grace laboured without him, so as to preserve free choice.

Ergo et nos sine causa hoc praedicauimus, si uere non resurrexit, et uos in illo frustra credidistis. quidam heretici animae resurrectionem uolunt adsignare, non carni[s] ; sed resurgere non dicitur nisi quod cecidit et resurgit: ergo neque anima in morte[m] cecidit neque semper iacuit corpus : alioquin ‘surgere’ magis quam [resurgere] diceretur.
“And if Christ has not risen, our preaching is in vain, and your faith is in vain.” Then we too preached this without cause, if he did not truly rise, and you believed in him to no purpose. Certain heretics want to ascribe resurrection to the soul, not to the flesh; but nothing is said to rise again except what has fallen and rises. Now the soul did not fall in death, nor did the body always lie down: otherwise it would be said “to rise” rather than [“to rise again”].

15.17Souter, Texts and Studies 9.2 2:216
Quod si Christus non resurrexit , uana est fides uestra: adhuc enim estis in peccatis uestris. Si mentitus est se post triduum [re]surrecturum, mentitus est etiam se peccata dimittere. [aut] ita omnes in resurrectione eius baptizamur, ut nostra peccata diluantur. si ergo non resurrexit, nec nobis sunt remissa peccata.
“And if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain: for you are still in your sins.” If he lied that he would rise after three days, he also lied that he forgives sins. So all of us are baptized into his resurrection, that our sins may be washed away; if, then, he did not rise, our sins have not been forgiven either.

“for as in Adam all die.” As through Adam death entered, because he was the first to die, so through Christ came resurrection, because he was the first to rise; and as Adam is the pattern of those who die, so Christ is the pattern of those who rise. “So also in Christ all will be made alive.” All indeed will rise, but only those will be made alive who are found worthy to be joined to the body of Christ.

deinde finis . Tunc erit finis omnium, etiam mortis, cum uniuersi resurgent. Cum tradiderit regnum [deo et patri ]. Regnum scilicet humani generis secundum Petri epistulam et Apocalypsin Iohannis patri tradendum adserit esse per filium, ut ibi regnet deus per gloriam, ubi per uitia diabolus ante regnabat. Deo et patri. Deo, secundum humanitatem, patri, secundum deitatem. hoc loco calumniari solent Arriani, dicentes minorem filium. “si enim tradet,” inquiunt, “ patri regnum, ipse utique regnare iam desinet.” quibus primo dicendum [est] quia hie non de trinitatis substantia, sed de [hominum] resurrectione tractabat, quam Christi resurrectione confirmat. ergo secundum [earn] substantiam eius loquitur, quae a mortuis resurrexit. sed tamen si ideo Christus non regnabit, quia regnum traditurus est patri, ergo nec pater regnat ante quam ei tradatur a filio. si autem pater non tunc primum regnabit, quamuis tunc suscipiat regnum, nec filius illut, quamuis tradere uideatur, amittet. Cum euacu[au]erit omnem principatum et potestatem et uirtutem. Euacuati[s] peccatis [seu] euacuabuntur a nobis omnes contrariae potestates : ab eo, quod nobis se sequentibus principantur. et potestate[m], qua nos eorum dominatui subiecimus, uirtutem uero, qua nos uicerant: uirtus enim eorum nostra peccata sunt.
“then the end.” Then will be the end of all things, even of death, when all will rise. “When he hands over the kingdom.” He asserts that the kingdom, namely of the human race, according to the epistle of Peter and the Apocalypse of John, is to be handed over to the Father through the Son, so that God may reign through glory where the devil formerly reigned through vices. “To God and the Father.” To God as regards the humanity, to the Father as regards the Godhead. In this place the Arians are accustomed to raise a false charge, saying the Son is lesser: “For if he hands over the kingdom to the Father,” they say, “he will certainly cease to reign himself.” To them it must first be said that here he was not treating of the substance of the Trinity but of the resurrection, which he confirms by Christ's resurrection; so he speaks according to that substance of his which rose from the dead. Yet if Christ will not reign because he is going to hand over the kingdom to the Father, then neither does the Father reign before it is handed over to him by the Son. But if the Father will not then reign for the first time, although he then receives the kingdom, neither will the Son lose it, although he seems to hand it over. “When he has done away with every principality and authority and power.” When sins have been done away, all opposing powers will be done away from us: principality, from the fact that they rule over us when we follow them; authority, by which we subjected ourselves to their dominion; and power, by which they had conquered us: for their power is our sins.

15.28Souter, Texts and Studies 9.2 2:219
Cum autem subiecta illi fuerint omnia , tunc et ipse filius subiectus erit illi qui sibi subiecit omnia. Hie quoque Arriani ita calumniantur, ut dicant quia post resurrectionem omnium et finem erit filius patri subiectus, ut minor scilicet maiori. quibus respondendum est impios illos, quia modo negant eum patri esse subiectum. subiectio uero non semper ad diminutionem honoris pertinet, sed etiam ad caritatis officium, maxime cum et spiritus prophetarum prophetis dicatur esse subiectus, ut non sit deus dissensionis, sed pacis, cum ipse dominus Ioseph ac Mariae scribatur fuisse subiectus. multi sane de hoc capitulo diuersa senserunt. nam quidam dicunt : sicut in suis esurientibus esurit uel cibatur, ita et in ecclesia sua, quae est corpus eius, ipse subicitur. alii aiunt quod ipsa humana natura quam induit, in gratiarum actione semper possit esse subiecta diuinitati, quia earn secum unum faciendo omnia ei subiecerit. multi etiam alia et diuersa dicunt, quae inserere et [e]numerare prolixum est. Ut sit deus omnia in omnibus . Tunc deus omnia in omnibus erit, cum euacuata morte et omni malitia uel errore destructo, solus regnabit in cunctis.
“But when all things have been subjected to him, then the Son himself also will be subject to him who subjected all things to himself.” Here too the Arians raise a false charge, saying that after the resurrection of all and the end the Son will be subject to the Father, as the lesser to the greater. They must be answered that they are impious, since they deny that he is subject to the Father now. Subjection, however, does not always mean a lessening of honour, but also the office of love, especially since the spirit of the prophets is said to be subject to the prophets, so that God may not be a God of dissension but of peace; and the Lord himself is written to have been subject to Joseph and Mary. Many indeed have held different views on this passage. Some say: as he hungers or is fed in his hungry members, so he is subjected in his church, which is his body. Others say that the human nature which he put on can always be subject to the Godhead in thanksgiving, because, by making it one with himself, he subjected all things to it. Many say still other things, which it would take too long to insert and list. “That God may be all in all.” Then God will be all in all, when death has been done away and all malice and error destroyed, and he alone will reign in all.

“I die daily.” I am always ready for death, and daily I expect to die for your glory. “By your glory.” “By” is not always the sign of an oath: for if I say, “I sent it by a boy,” I will not rightly be thought, on that account, to have sworn by the boy. “Which I have in the Lord.” I have the reward of my labour in you, even if you do not want to progress.

Si secundum hominem ad bestias pugnaui Ephesi. Si nihil remunerationis a domino pro hoc certamine spero, quare pugnaui? [an] ut hominibus [forte] placerem? Quid mihi prodest , si mortui non resurgunt ? Multa dicuntur in epistulis, quae in Actibus non tenentur, et multa in Actibus, quae in epistulis [non] scribuntur. per allegoriam autem bestiae possunt intellegi aduersariae potestates, sicut ait in psalmo: ‘ne tradas bestiis animam confitentem tibi,’ ad quas hie dicit se depugnasse, Manducemus et bibamus : cras enim moriemur. Increpat exemplo propheta[e] gulae deditos desperatione futurorum, cuius rei crimen negatur eis remitti quoad usque moriantur.
“If, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus.” If I hope for no reward from the Lord for this contest, why did I fight? So as to please men? “What does it profit me, if the dead do not rise?” Many things are said in the letters that are not contained in the Acts, and many things in the Acts that are [not] written in the letters. But allegorically the beasts can be understood as hostile powers, as he says in the psalm, “Do not hand over to the beasts the soul that confesses you,” against which he says here that he fought. “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” By the example of the prophet he rebukes those given to gluttony in despair of the future, whose crime, it is said, will not be forgiven them until they die.

Nolite seduci. Ab his qui talia loquuntur. Corrumpunt mores bonos colloquia mala. Ne dicerent: uergo tales nos iudicas, qui facile seducamur,” 'non/ inquit, ‘de uobis timeo, sed illorum tergiuersatione[s] formido.’ sed quo modo mala conloquia bonos mores corrumpunt, ita e contrario bona conloquia malos mores.
“Do not be led astray.” By those who say such things. “Evil conversations corrupt good morals.” Lest they say, “So you judge us to be people easily led astray,” he says: “I do not fear for you, but I dread their evasions.” But just as evil conversations corrupt good morals, so, on the other hand, good conversations undo bad morals.

Sobrii estote. Ostendit resurrectionem non credere eos qui se uoluptatibus tradiderunt. Iusti et nolite peccare. Ille iustus est qui non peccat. Ignorantiam enim dei quidam habent. Ignorant uirtutem dei qui eum putant suscitare non posse, potentiam eius ex sua inbecillitate censentes. Ad reuerentiam uobis loquor. Ut erubescatis uos his sermonibus tamquam adhuc paruulos erudiri.
“Be sober.” He shows that those who have given themselves over to pleasures do not believe in the resurrection. “Be righteous, and do not sin.” He is righteous who does not sin. “For some have ignorance of God.” They are ignorant of God's power who think he cannot raise the dead, judging his power by their own weakness. “I speak to your shame.” That you may blush to be instructed with these words as though you were still little children.

Sed dicet aliquis. Ipse sibi e[x] contradicentium persona proponit. Quo modo resurgent mortui ? quali autem corpore ueniunt? Multi solent proponere utrum debilia corpora, ut sunt defuncta, resurgant: quibus respondendum est in resurrectione non debilitatis uitium, sed integritatem reparari naturae, numquam enim tam debile est corpus quam cum fuerit in puluerem resolutum. qui ergo creditur totum reddere, cur ex parte reparare dubitetur? hoc est, [cur,] uerbi gratia, non reddat oculos, qui totum restituet corpus?
“But someone will say.” He puts the question to himself in the person of objectors. “How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?” Many are accustomed to ask whether bodies rise disabled, as they were at death; they must be answered that in the resurrection it is not the defect of disability that is restored but the wholeness of nature: for a body is never so weak as when it has been dissolved into dust. Why, then, should it be doubted that he who is believed to restore the whole will restore a part; that is, for example, why should he not restore eyes, who will restore the whole body?

“Not all flesh is the same flesh, but there is one of men, another of cattle.” If by his command in the beginning the earth gave so many and such diverse living bodies, which it had not received, what wonder if by his command it restores man, whom it has received! “Another flesh of birds, another of fish.” Understand the same of the waters too, which brought forth so great a variety of birds and fish.

Qualis terrenus, tales et terreni , et qualis caelestis , tales et caelestes. Si ideo, ut heretici uolunt, nostri generis adsumptus homo non fuit, qui[a] caelestis dicitur, ergo nec isti naturae nostrae sunt, qui caelestes appellantur: si uero de his nemo dubitat, nec de illo est ambigendum.
“As is the earthly, such are the earthly; and as is the heavenly, such are the heavenly.” If, as the heretics would have it, the man assumed was not of our race because he is called heavenly, then neither are those of our nature who are called heavenly; but if no one doubts about them, neither should there be any doubt about him.
1 Cor 15:48 (quotation, high confidence)
Notes and citation
Summary: Christ called heavenly is still of our race, as are heavenly believers.

“Therefore, as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us also bear the image of the heavenly.” The sinner bears the image of Adam, the righteous man the image of Christ. So as we bore the old man before baptism, so after baptism let us bear the new.

Hoc autem dico, fratres , qu[on\ia[m] caro et sanguis regnum dei non possidebunt [, neque corruptio incorruptelam possidebit].

“Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood will not possess the kingdom of God.” Scripture frequently names the flesh for the works of the flesh, as there: “But you are not in the flesh but in the spirit.” Otherwise: flesh as it is will not possess the kingdom of God unless clothed with immortality.

“Behold, I tell you a mystery.” By naming it a mystery he signifies its obscurity. “We shall all rise; not all shall be changed.” All men will rise, but only those who are to reign will be changed into glory. Or: all of us who are found dead at Christ's coming will rise; not all who are found in the body will be changed, because only the saints will obtain the glory of blessedness.

In momento , in ictu oculi. Per ictum oculi nimiam breuitatem [uult] significare momenti, ut quanta sit dei potentia ex resurrectionis celeritate cognoscas. In nouissima tuba : [canent enim et] mortui resurgent [incorrupt] et nos immutabimur . Nouissimus aduentus intellegitur Christi : mortui autem uel peccatores intelligendi sunt, qui etiam uiuentes mortui esse dicuntur, ut ad poenam aut inmortales aut absque aliqua membrorum diminutione resurgant, uel certe simpliciter omnes mortuos resurgere dicit et solos sanctos cum his, qui uiui iusti inuenti fuerint, in gloriam inmutari.
“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.” By the twinkling of an eye he signifies the extreme brevity of a moment, so that you may recognize how great God's power is from the speed of the resurrection. “At the last trumpet: the dead will rise and we shall be changed.” Christ's last coming is meant. By the dead are to be understood either sinners, who even while living are said to be dead, so that they rise for punishment, either immortal or without any loss of limbs; or certainly he simply says that all the dead rise, and that only the saints, together with those who are found alive and righteous, are changed into glory.

“If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema.” As Christ will come as redemption for those who love him, so he will anathematize those who do not love him, that is, he will abhor and destroy them. “Maranatha.” It is Syriac rather than Hebrew, though, coming from the borderland of the two languages, it has something of a Hebrew sound; it is interpreted “Our Lord has come.”
