1 Corinthians 15 Summary

1 Corinthians 15 is the great resurrection chapter, affirming Christ’s resurrection and the believer’s future hope of a resurrected body.

Paul recounts the gospel—Christ died, was buried, and rose, appearing to many witnesses—and argues that without the resurrection, faith is futile.

He explains the resurrection body and ends in triumph: ‘Where, O death, is your victory?’ Therefore, ‘always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord.’
