1 Corinthians 15:58

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:58

The apostle concludeth his discourse, proving the resurrection of the body from the dead, founding upon it an exhortation to holiness, which is here called the work of the Lord, because it is made up of works done by us at the command of Christ, and with direct respect to his glory in obedience to his will. He mindeth them not only to do these things, but to do them stedfastly, not by fits, but never turning aside from them either one way or another; and unmovably, so as no temptations, either... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:58

1 Corinthians 15:58 I. The duty which is connected with our being steadfast and unmovable in the faith of the resurrection, and of the resurrection life, is (1) to be about the work of the Lord; (2) to abound in it; (3) to abound in it always. II. The motive your labour is not in vain. It is in the Lord that your labour is not in vain empty, or void of result and issue. You enter into the work of the Lord as the Lord Himself entered into the work given Him to do. It belongs to Him to see that... read more

DISCOURSE: 1995DEATH A CONQUERED ENEMY1 Corinthians 15:51-58. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

1 Corinthians 15:1-58 There were people in the Apostles' days who had an idea that there was no resurrection. Paul endeavours torefute the idea, and teaches the Corinthians that there was a resurrection from the dead. From the 1st to the 11th verse he proves the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and upon that grounds the doctrine of the resurrection of the just. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, and wherein ye stand: "By which also... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

Let's turn to I Corinthians, chapter 15.The Corinthian church was a real mess. A lot of carnality that led to divisions, a lot of party spirit, a real misunderstanding of the spiritual gifts, a lot of weird concepts. There were some in Corinth who declared that there was no resurrection from the dead, sort of a Sadducean background, perhaps. Paul, having corrected the other problems that they wrote to him about, now finally tackles the final problem of those people who were declaring there is... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

1 Corinthians 15:1-2 . I declare unto you the gospel by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you. We have here an epitome of the whole gospel, comprising essentially the death of Christ as a sacrifice for sin, and his triumphant resurrection from the dead; these are truths which lie at the foundation of all human hope. The promise of salvation so often repeated to sincere and faithful souls, must always be kept in view. Mark 16:16. Romans 1:16. What consolation... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - 1 Corinthians 15:55-58

1 Corinthians 15:55-58O death, where is thy sting?O grave, where is thy victory? Death in ideaThere are two aspects in which this language might be regarded.1. As the sentiment of the redeemed after the resurrection. Literally, then, death will have lost its sting, and the grave its victory.2. As the expression of an exultant sentiment which the apostle felt even now, and which may be enjoyed by all true Christians. This is the view that we now adopt. Death was to the apostle, as yet, an idea,... read more

Always abounding, &c. ] This will strengthen faith, as the often knocking upon a stake fastens it. When faith bears fruit upward, it will take root downward.
