Daniel 12:2-3

12:2 Many of those who sleep

in the dusty ground will awake –

some to everlasting life,

and others to shame and everlasting abhorrence. ¹ 

12:3 But the wise will shine

like the brightness of the heavenly expanse.

And those bringing many to righteousness

will be like the stars forever and ever.

John 5:29

5:29 and will come out – the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation. ² 

Acts 24:15

24:15 I have ³  a hope in God (a hope ⁴  that ⁵  these men ⁶  themselves accept too) that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. ⁷ 

Hebrews 11:35

11:35 and women received back their dead raised to life. ⁸  But others were tortured, not accepting release, to obtain resurrection to a better life. ⁹ 

¹ sn This verse is the only undisputed reference to a literal resurrection found in the Hebrew Bible.

² tn Or “a resurrection resulting in judgment.”

³ tn Grk “having.” The participle ἔχων (ecwn) has been translated as a finite verb and a new sentence begun at this point in the translation because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence.

⁴ sn This mention of Paul’s hope sets up his appeal to the resurrection of the dead. At this point Paul was ignoring the internal Jewish dispute between the Pharisees (to which he had belonged) and the Sadducees (who denied there would be a resurrection of the dead).

⁵ tn Grk “a hope in God (which these [men] themselves accept too).” Because the antecedent of the relative pronoun “which” is somewhat unclear in English, the words “a hope” have been repeated at the beginning of the parenthesis for clarity.

⁶ tn Grk “that they”; the referent (these men, Paul’s accusers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷ tn Or “the unjust.”

⁸ tn Grk “received back their dead from resurrection.”

⁹ tn Grk “to obtain a better resurrection.”
