1 Corinthians 15:10

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

1 Corinthians 15:1-12Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel.The apostolic gospelI. Christianity is based on historical facts, not on human reason or imagination; it is neither an ingenious hypothesis to account for any phenomena, nor a poetic myth to adumbrate any truth. It is based on facts. These facts are--1. Personal. They are connected with a person, and that person is not Socrates, Plato, nor Caesar, but Christ.2. Few. He “died,” He was “buried,” and He “rose.” These facts are... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Corinthians 15:10

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.I laboured more than they all — That is, more than any of them, from a deep sense of the peculiar love God had shown me. Yet, to speak more properly, it is not I, but the grace of God that is with me - This it is which at first qualified me for the work, and still excites me to zeal and diligence in it. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

1. The Christ-history, especially Christ’s Resurrection, as received from apostolic witness, fully and firmly stated, 1-11. We have here the historical argument for Christ’s resurrection, and so for the truth of Christianity, which was fully expanded into full and unanswerable volume by Paley. It is not the sole argument, but it is the ground argument, for our faith. By it Christianity is not a philosophy, like the teachings of Socrates, but a religion like nothing else in the world.

10. Whatever I was as a persecutor, yet by the grace of God I am what I am An apostle! Not in vain He was, he says, (Acts 26:19,) “not disobedient unto the heavenly vision.” More abundantly than they all Than any one of them all. Not I Spoken comparatively. Yet while he would claim much in comparison with other apostles, he has no claim to make in competition with God’s grace. read more
