Notes on 1 Corinthians 15:1-34
The Gospel
      False Teachings had creep into the church At Corinth. Paul has spent this letter correcting where they have strayed from the faith they once had believed. 1 Cor 15:1-2. Here in this chapter the apostle states the most important doctrine of the Christian faith. The doctrine of the Gospel is centered around Christ being raised from
the Grave. All other religions of the world's leader have died, none have every come back to life. Christ Died,
was buried, and arose the third day.
By this length time Jesus’ body would have been stinking. Cp John 11:39. Remember Christ hands Would have
holes from the nail ( spikes) in both His hands and feet. Also his side was pierced, blood And water came out.
John 14:39. Jesus Christ is part of the God head co-equal with God. John 5:18; Cp John 10:30.
Many say Jesus was a great man, or a Prophet. This is what makes Christ being raised from the Grave so 
important. It proves He was Emmanuel “God with us.” Mat 1:23; Cp John 1:1-4.
Christ lives today.
     “Religious truth is captive in a small number of little manuscripts which guard the common treasures, instead of
expanding them. Let us break the seal which binds these holy things; let us give wings to truth that it may fly with 
the Word, no longer prepared at vast expense, but multitudes everlastingly by a machine which never wearies to
every soul which enters life”.
        — Johann Gutenberg
      The  King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version). Is the version everybody
defends today. The KJV is used in this study because more copies have been sold than any version or better yet 
translation of the Bible the inspired word of God. At this time more commentaries of ancient origin have been
written using the KJV as the basic text. This makes the KJV the most important of all translation. We must be
careful in our approach to these matters.
       From the KJV
            1 Thes 5:19  Quench not the Spirit.
            1 Thes 5:20  Despise not prophesyings.
            1 Thes 5:21  Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
            1 Thes 5:22  Abstain from all appearance of evil.
            2 Tim 2:15  Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be
                               ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

    Young's Literal Translation of the Holy Bible by J.N. Young, 1862, 1898 (Author of the Young's Analytical 
Concordance). YLT is a translation used to add to the ultimate under of God’s word.
Many Bible students have and still use His Concordance in preparing both sermon and Sunday school lessons
from the KJV. Every copy we have in the English language is a translation of the original.
Some use difference text as a basic of the translation.
    YLT here is used as another prospective in the study of God’s Word. Please to the Father to give both the
author And reader a greater understanding of God’s precious word. Jude 1:3,9.

 CEV Translation is the Contemporary English Version – American Bible Society http://www.americanbible.org
Reproduce from the Program E-sword.net .
From the Preface of the Contemporary English Version, A translation of the Bible God’s Holy Word.
“  The translators of the King James Version said,”… Variety of translations is profitable for finding out the
sense of the Scriptures” and “We affirm and avow that the very meanest translation of the bible in English, set
forth by men of our profession … contains the Word of God, nay is the Word of God.”
They even stated, “No, cause therefore why the word translated should be denied to be the Word, or Forbidden
to be current, notwithstanding that some imperfection and blemishes may be noted in the setting forth of it.”
    Each English translation is, in its own right, the Word of God, yet each translation serves to meet the needs of
a different audience. In this regard, the CEV should be considered a companion—the mission arm---of traditional
translations, because it takes seriously the words of the apostle Paul that “ faith comes by hearing.” Rom 10:17.

  BBE is 1949/1964 Bible In Basic English
“The Bible In Basic English was printed in 1965 by Cambridge Press in England. Published without any copyright
notice and distributed in America, this work fell immediately and irretrievably into the Public Domain in the United
States according to the UCC convention of that time.

The form in which the Bible is given here is not simply another example of the Bible story put into present-day
English. The language used is Basic English.

Basic English, produced by Mr C. K. Ogden of the Orthological Institute, is a simple form of the English language
which, with 850 words, is able to give the sense of anything which may be said in English. By the addition of 50
Special Bible words and the use of 100 words listed as giving most help in the reading of English verse, this number
has been increased to 1000 for the purpose of putting the Bible into Basic.”
BBE was reproduce from the program E-sword.net

Hebrew and Greek words can be translated in more than one way. Any who are familiar with Biblical languages
know that many phrases have several meanings. Therefore, it is a risky thing to suggest the translators have
erred. In most cases such objections reflect the shortsightedness of the critics, or else his or her lack of 
understanding either the original or host languages. It is one thing to offer another possible translation and
another to state that a translation is in error. More times than not, the one who is mistaken is the critic.

  Crowned With Glory The Bible from Ancient Text to Authorized Version
      by Dr. Thomas Holland. Chapter 9: Translational Considerations
This Applies to any Translation of God’s Word. The Idea is to be open so God through The Holy Ghost
 and His word Can speak to your soul. Please don’t limited this.

The whole wisdom of Salvation and Bible study is what the Eunuch said to Philip after Philip asked him if he
 understood.
                                  Acts 8:31 KJV And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me?
                                                                   And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
                                         Act 8:31  CEV The official answered, "How can I understand unless someone helps me?"
                                                                    He then invited Philip to come up and sit beside him.
All that is endeavored here is A better under standing of God’s original Word.
                                        2Tim 3:16 KJV All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
                                                                   for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
 

1Cor 15:1 KJV  Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you,
                             which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1Cor 15:2 KJV By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you,
                           unless ye have believed in vain.

1Cor 15:1 YLT And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you,
                             which also  ye did receive, in which also ye have stood,
1Cor 15:2  YLT through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you,
                            if  ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,
                           Facts
                                     1. Paul constantly reminds the Corinthians what he had presented ( told them ) to them
                                          earlier.
                                     2. Here he reaffirms it had not been distorted.
                                     3. Believing what the apostle preached, they were saved and preserved. John 6:27;
                                         Rom 4:11; 2 Cor 1:22; Eph 1:13; Eph 4:30. When a ruler put their seal it could not be 
                                         undone or changed. Seal show the authority. Gen 41:42. A person
                                         carrying the Ring ( seal ) had the same authority as the one who owned the Ring.
                                     4. Paul preaches the Good news.  Jesus Christ is, not was, the promise Saviour.
                                     5. Gospel = Christ died, was buried, and rose the third day just like the Old Testament has
                                          foretold.
                                     6. The apostle Paul is expressing the difference in true believers and the soul which only have
                                          a head knowledge. Do you know if you died tonight where you would Spend Eternity. 
                                          Heaven or Hell ( the lake of Fire that burns forever. )

                                                            1John 5:13  BBE I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, 
                                                                                         so that you may be  certain that you have eternal life.
                                                       1949/1964 Bible In Basic English   From WWW.e-sword.net
                                    7. A true believer has had a personal meeting with Christ as their personal Saviour.
                                      John 10:27; Rev 3:20.
                                    8. The apostle is not saying one could lose God’s work in saving their soul.
                                         Paul certain did not believe he could lose the salvation his soul. He is in these verses
                                         pointing out the significant of Christ being risen from the grave.
                                         Christ conquered Death.
                                         If Jesus Christ didn’t raised from the grave then He ( Christ ) could not be the believers’
                                         Saviour. The believer’s faith in Jesus would be in vain if He had not been raise from the
                                         dead. God raising Christ from the grave, tell us He ( Christ ) won theVictory over death.
                                         1 Cor 15:55
                                              1Cor 15:55 YLT  where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?'
                                    9. Ecc 3:14 YLT I have known that all that God doth is to the age, to it nothing is to be added,
                                                              and from it nothing is to be withdrawn; and God hath wrought that they do
                                                              fear before Him.
                                                             God executes our Salvation. We are to take nothing away from it or add to it.
                                                             These that are trusting that they can lose the salvation of their soul are not
                                                             trusting in God’s finished work. Eph 2:8-9
                                              Eph 2:8 YLT for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you--of God the gift,
                                                                           9 not of works, that no one may boast;
                                                          God through Jesus Christ His Son saves our soul for the asking ( repentance ).
                                                  John 3:16
                                  10. Paul is in these verses is talking about False prophets and False teachers.
                                        2 Cor 4:3-4; 2 Peter 2:1-2. Satan is the one that blinds the lost. He also oppresses the
                                       Saved. The Devil or demons cannot dwell in the same abode as the Holy Ghost ( Spirit ). 
                                    1 Cor 3:16. The Holy Spirit dwells within every born again believer.
                                     John 3:3-8.
                                       Satan or His demons can not take a way God’s Salvation of a person’s soul.
                                      Rom 8:38; 2 Tim 3:5.
                                          The devil can confuse a Christian to the point they lose the power of God in their Life.
                                       These verses are not meant to say one is losing the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
                                       The power of God come from prayers, righteous living, studying God’s Word, and letting
                                       God control your life. The devil can lead a christian into believing they are doing God’s
                                       will. Paul persecuted the church even killing Christians thinking he was doing God’s will.

                                  11. False teacher start at the core of the Gospel.
                                             A. They deny the Virgin ( Sinless ) birth of Christ. The inheritance comes Through the
                                                  man. Christ father was the Holy Spirit. ( God ). Mat 1:18.
                                             B. They deny the deity of Christ. Christ was God in a man’s body.
                                                   I and my Father are one. John 10:30,38
                                             C. The bodily resurrection of Christ is denied.  John 20:24-29.
                                                   Thomas touched Christ new body.  He body was super nature, as a God should be.
                                                   He appeared in close rooms With doors locked.
                                             John 20:19.Mat 27:50-56; Luke 24:12-35.
                                             D. They deny The Personal Premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ for His saints.
                                             Isa 25:8-9; 1 Thess 4:13- 1 Thess 5:2; Mat 24:30-31;Mat 25:31; Mat 26:64.
                                             E. They deny Christ lives today and is seated at the right hand of the father.
                                                   They Deny Christ is coming again. Heb 1:13;2 Peter 3:10; Rev 1:7;
                                                   Heb 10:12; Heb 12:2.
                                                                    Heb 12:2 YLT looking to the author and perfecter of faith--Jesus,  who, 
                                                                                             over-against the joy set before him—
                                                                                             did endure a cross, shame having despised,
                                                                                             on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;
                                                                     Heb 12:3  YLT for consider again him who endured such
                                                                                              gainsaying from the sinners to himself,
                                                                                              that ye may not be wearied in your souls --being faint.

                                  12. All believers are chosen or predestined to conform to the images of Christ Rom 8:28-29.

                                  13. Christ is risen and is a living God. Acts 14:15.

1Cor 15:3  KJV For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for
                            our sins according to the Scriptures;
1Cor 15:4  KJV And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:

1Cor 15:3  YLT for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins,
                             according to the Writings,
1Cor 15:4  YLT and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings,

                      Facts:
                                1. The Apostle to the Gentile proceeds to repeat the Gospel, the message he first delivered
                                    to them. Rom 10:9-13.
                                2. Christ died for our sins, Past, Present, and Future.
                                    Notice the word sin is plural, sins. More than one – All sin
                                   Prov 10:12; Rom 4:8; Rom 5:21; Rom 6:10; Rom 6:14; Rom 6:18-23; 2 Cor 5:21;
                                     Gal 1:14; Eph 1:7; Eph 2:1-5; Col 1:14; Col 2:13; Heb 1:13; Heb 2:17; Heb 5:1-3;
                                     Heb 10:12; Heb 12:2: 1 John 1:7.
                                                                        1 John 1:7 KJV But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
                                                                                           we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of 
                                                                                          Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
                                                                       1 John 3:9  KJV Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; 
                                                                                              for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is  born of God.

                                 3. Many religions and Life Styles follow the teachings of a dead leader. 
                                    Christ, the son of God The Father John 3:16;1 John 5:13, is the only one which came back
                                    to life in a new body. A spiritual body that could be touched and could enter room with locked 
                                    closed doors. John 20:24-29.
                                    Christ is in Heaven today. Acts 1:10-11.
                                    At the Father’s right Hand. Mark 14:62;Acts 7:55-56; Heb 1:3; 1 Peter 3:22.
                                4. God had His Salvation (redemption of the Human Race) planned from the beginning.
                                   John 1:1-13; John 1:29
                                 5. Jesus was Crucified on the Cross ( a tree ). John 19:16-30.
                                     He was buried John 19:38-42.
                                     God raised him from the dead ( resurrection ) John 20:1-10
                                     Christ appeared John 20:11-31
                                 6. Rom 8:31-39 YLT
                                                 31 What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God   is   for us, who is against us?
                                                 32 He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up,
                                                       how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?
                                                 33 Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God is He that is declaring righteous,
                                                 34 who is he that is condemning? Christ is He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up;
                                                      who is also on the right hand of God--who also doth intercede for us.
                                                 35 Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress,  or persecution, or famine,
                                                       or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
                                                 36 (according as it hath been written--`For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long,
                                                     we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')
                                                 37 but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;
                                                 38 for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities,  nor powers,
                                                      nor things present,
                                                 39 nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing,
                                                     shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
                                                          Who can be against the believer if Christ, God son died for our sins?
                                                           If Christ is for us who can do anything toward us?
                                                               Christ died, was buried, and rose the third day to a new body.
                                                            Today He is seated at the Fathers right hand. There He makes intercession
                                                            for the one that have made Christ Lord and master of their lives. 
                                                               Christ is our advocate.  1 John 2:1.
                                                                All of this tells us Christ is alive today.

                                                                 Alive, alive. Alive forevermore.
                                                                  My Jesus is alive.
                                                                  Alive forevermore. Alive, alive. Alive forevermore.
                                                                  My Jesus is alive.

                                                                 Sing alleluia. Sing alleluia.  My Jesus is alive forevermore.
                                                                 Sing alleluia. Sing alleluia. My Jesus is alive.
 

1Cor 15:5  KJV And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
1Cor 15:5  YLT and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve,
                         Facts:
                                   1. Further proof, Christ was seen of Peter and the remaining apostles. Luke 24:13-23
                                   2. Cephas = Peter, Christ renamed him John 1:42.
                                       According to notes 1Cor 1:12 of the CEV The Greek text has “Cephas”, which is an
                                       Aramaic name meaning “rock.” Peter is the Greek name with the same meaning.
                                   3. The original number of the first apostles was Twelve, Luke 24:33-43, ever one knew who
                                       Paul was talking about when he mention the twelve.

1Cor 15:6  KJV After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain
                             unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
1Cor 15:6  YLT afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain
                            till now, and certain also did fall asleep;
                            Facts:
                                     1. Christ was seen of over 500 Disciples or brethren all at the same time.
                                     2. Many believe this happen on the mount in Galilee. It is probable that it took place in 
                                        Galilee where Christ repeatedly directed the disciples to gather.
                                   Mat 28:10,16;Mat 26:32;Mat 28:7,10,16;Mark 16:7
                                     3. Some have died but for the most part some are still living.
                                     4. Sleep in the N.T. refers to physical death. The separation of the Soul and Spirit from
                                         the body. The word of God is powerful enough. Heb 4:12.
                                     5. Paul is not talking about soul sleep. A Christian doesn’t Just go to the Grave,
                                         only his or her body is buried. Christ won the Victory over death. When a believer passes
                                         over to the other side, there is sweet peace like a restful sleep. We as believer though will
                                         be wide awake praising God from the awe of the Greatness of Heaven in the
                                         present of the Lord.
                                         The words “are fallen asleep” come from [Grk. 2837] koimao (koy-mah'-o)
                                         to put to sleep, i.e. (passively or reflexively) to slumber; figuratively, to decease:
                                          --(be a-, fall a-, fall on) sleep, be dead.

                                                       2Cor 5:5 KJV
                                                Now he that hath wrought us for the  selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of theSpirit
                                                      2Cor 5:6 KJV
                                                Therefore we are always confident,  knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
                                                     2Cor 5:7 KJV
                                                 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
                                                    2Cor 5:8 KJV
                                                We are confident, I say, and willing  rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

                                                    2Cor 5:7 CEV But we live by faith, not by what we see.
                                                    2Cor 5:8 CEV  We should be cheerful, because we would rather leave these bodies and be at home with the Lord.

                                                      2Cor 5:7 YLT  for through faith we walk, not through sight--
                                                      2Cor 5:8 YLT we have courage, and are well pleased rather to be away from  the home of the body, 
                                                                        and to be at home with the Lord.
     Here are Three Translations that tell us
                                       A. The human soul is save by Faith and Faith along.
                                       B. That the Soul and Spirit of man goes straightly to the presents of The Lord.

1Cor 15:7  KJV After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
1Cor 15:7  YLT afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
                            Facts:
                                         1. Jesus Christ is seen after His resurrection By His earthly brother. Gal 1:19.
                                         2.  apostle == G652  apostolos ap-os'-tol-os From G649;
                                                            a delegate; specifically an ambassador of the Gospel; officially a
                                                            commissioner of Christ (“apostle”), (with miraculous powers): - apostle,
                                                            messenger, he that is sent.
                                         3. Basically  the meaning of Apostle is one sent forth by another.

                               1. Christ sent Saul to the Gentile. Even Changed his name to Paul after he came face to face
                                   with His saviour Jesus Christ. Acts 9:4-7.
                               2. Paul kill Christians and persecuted Christians All in the name of God and Legally.
                                   See religious can be wrong. Even the hard working ones.
                               3. He said he was born out of due time.
                                    Due time == [Grk. 1626] ektroma (ek'-tro-mah)
                                    from a comparative of 1537 and titrosko (to wound); a miscarriage (abortion), i.e.
                                     (by analogy) untimely birth:--born out of due time.
                                       Strong’s From e-sword.net
                                    A better translation could be “Born before Time” ( prematurely birth ).
                                    Paul states many times it is only by the Grace of God he is where he is.
                                    Eph 3:7
                               4. If it had not been for Paul meeting the Lord on the road he would still have been persecuting 
                                   Christian. Many a well-meaning religious person has hindered the work of the
                                    Lord Jesus Christ.
                               5. There has been preachers, teachers which have come to realize they only had a head
                                  knowledge of Jesus Christ. Maybe they were only trying to live the life. You can not get there 
                                   by Living the life Your life will be empty. Rom 10:10. One belief has to be with theHeart.

                                  The Heart in the bible denotes the whole being of a person. Body, soul, and spirit.

                               Rom 10:10 BBE For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with
                                                                 the  mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.

                  One needs to miss the Fires of Eternity in the Lake of Fire ( Hell ). Luke 16:24

                                            Rev 20:15 KJV And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
                         Yes this is meant to scare one into Salvation because God said it. The most important decision
                         a Soul can make is where you are going to spend the after life? ( Your Life in the hereafter ).
                         Is there life after death?     YES. Mark 9:44-48; Luke 16:24.

                                                     Death==[Grk. 2288] thanatos (than'-at-os)

                                                  God's word seems to be very clear on the subject of death and resurrection.
                                                  Believe what God's word is saying to you Soul through the Spirit.
                                                  Some times when a subject gives one trouble defending it needs another look.
                                                   This may be the Holy Spirit dealing with you.
                                                  If you have to rule out A form of God's word to prove something be very prayerful
                                                  your convictions. Don't let anyone tell you how to believe without first checking the
                                                  belief out yourself.
                                                        Some Rules.
                                                       1. Do they believe the Gospel. The death, burial, and resurrection of Christ?
                                                       2. Do they believe God does the saving of one soul or Man has to do a part?

                                            it is by the Grace of God, we as believer have to accepted Jesus Christ as doing
                                            God’s finished work on our behalf. Eph 2:8-9.
                                                 Eph 2:8 YLT for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith,
                                                                         and this not of you--of God the gift,
                                                      Eph 2:9 YLT  not of works, that no one may boast;
                                                      Eph 2:10 YLT for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good
                                                                              works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.
                                                God’s Power is what Saves our soul for Eternity, which means we are kept by God’s
                                              power. 1 Peter 1:5.
                                                Human nature is sinful by nature ( flesh ) Rom 3:10; Rom 3:23; Rom 5:12;
                                                  Rom 6:23; 1 John 1:7; 1 John 3:6; 1 Cor 2:14; 1 Cor 15:44-46;

1Cor 15:10  YLT and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not
                              in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I,
                              but the grace of God that is with me;

                              Facts:
                                        1. The Apostle in this verse showing the Corinthians that this letter from beginning
                                             to the end is not of Paul’s doing. It is only by the Grace of God.
                                             The only way anyone can fittingly perform God’s work.
                                                A. First, a soul must be saved, make Christ both Lord and master, By God's Grace.
                                                B. Second, study to show that you are a workman which need not be ashamed.
                                                John 14:26; 2 Tim 2:15; 2 Tim 3:16.
