Text -- 1 Corinthians 15:1-5 (NET)

Christ’s Resurrection

15:1 Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand, 15:2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you– unless you believed in vain. 15:3 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received– that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, 15:4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, 15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: 1Co 15:1

¹ tn Grk “Now I make known to you.”

² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

NET Notes: 1Co 15:3

¹ tn Grk “among (the) first things.”

NET Notes: 1Co 15:4

¹ tn Grk “he has been raised/is raised,” using a Greek tense that points to the present effect of the act of raising him. But in English idiom the temporal phrase “on the third day” requires a different translation of the verb.
