Now, brothers
The term "brothers" (Greek: ἀδελφοί, adelphoi) is a term of endearment and unity, indicating the familial bond among believers. In the early church, this term was inclusive of both men and women, emphasizing the spiritual kinship that transcends biological ties. Paul uses this address to remind the Corinthian believers of their shared identity in Christ, fostering a sense of community and mutual responsibility. Historically, the early Christian communities were often small and faced external pressures, making this sense of brotherhood crucial for their perseverance and growth.

I want to remind you
The phrase "I want to remind you" (Greek: γνωρίζω, gnōrizō) suggests a deliberate act of bringing to memory something previously known. Paul is not introducing new doctrine but reinforcing foundational truths. This act of reminding is essential in the Christian life, as believers are prone to forgetfulness amidst life's distractions. The historical context of Corinth, a bustling and morally complex city, made it easy for the church to lose sight of core gospel truths, necessitating Paul's reminder.

of the gospel
The "gospel" (Greek: εὐαγγέλιον, euangelion) is the good news of Jesus Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. This message is central to Christian faith and practice, encapsulating God's redemptive plan for humanity. In the Greco-Roman world, "gospel" was a term used for proclamations of victory or the birth of an emperor, but Paul redefines it as the ultimate victory over sin and death through Christ. The gospel is not merely a message but the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16).

I preached to you
The act of preaching (Greek: κηρύσσω, kēryssō) involves proclaiming or heralding a message with authority. Paul emphasizes that the gospel he delivered was not of human origin but divinely revealed. His preaching was not just informative but transformative, intended to bring about a response of faith and obedience. In the historical context, Corinth was a city of diverse philosophies and religions, making Paul's proclamation of the gospel a bold and counter-cultural act.

which you received
The word "received" (Greek: παραλαμβάνω, paralambanō) indicates an active acceptance and appropriation of the gospel message. It implies more than mere intellectual assent; it involves embracing the truth of the gospel and allowing it to shape one's life. The Corinthian believers' reception of the gospel marked the beginning of their new life in Christ, a transformative process that set them apart from their previous pagan practices.

and in which you stand
To "stand" (Greek: ἵστημι, histēmi) conveys the idea of stability and perseverance. The gospel is not only the foundation of the Christian faith but also the sustaining power that enables believers to remain steadfast amidst trials and temptations. In the context of Corinth, where the church faced internal divisions and external pressures, standing firm in the gospel was crucial for maintaining unity and integrity. This phrase underscores the ongoing nature of the Christian journey, rooted in the unchanging truth of the gospel.

XV.

(1) Moreover, brethren.--This chapter is throughout occupied with the DOCTRINE OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. The occasion which caused the Apostle to dwell at such length and with such emphasis on this subject was the denial of the resurrection by some members of the Corinthian Church. It has been suggested by some writers that what the Apostle had to combat was a false conception of the resurrection--that at Corinth there were probably those who refined away the doctrine of the resurrection into merely a rising from the death of sin into a life of righteousness, something after the manner of Hymenaeus and Philetus (2Timothy 2:17-18), who taught that "the resurrection was past already." It seems clear, however, from the emphatic statement in 1Corinthians 15:12, and from the general scope and drift of the entire argument, that what the Apostle is here meeting is not a perversion, but a denial of the doctrine. There were many elements in such a mixed body as the Corinthian Church which would have contributed to the growth of this error. Amongst the Jewish converts would be some traces of the Sadducean (Matthew 22:23) denial of the resurrection, and in the Gentile section of the Church there would linger the spirit of the Athenians who "mocked when they heard of the resurrection of the dead" (Acts 17:32), and of the Epicurean philosophers who said, "Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die." From these and from other like sources there had crept into the Church itself a denial of the doctrine of the resurrection. In reading this chapter it is well to remember that the Apostle probably intended it, not only as a reply to these corruptors of the faith, but as supplying those who remained faithful with a confirmation of their own faith, and arguments with which they might meet their opponents. It is always difficult to give a clear, exhaustive analysis of an argument by such a writer as St. Paul. The enthusiasm of his nature leads him to mingle the syllogism of passion with the syllogism of logic; and, as he was not writing himself, but dictating the composition, a word often leads him off from his argument into some splendid outburst of pathetic exhortation, or of prophetic utterance. Still, including such digressions, the general argument of this chapter may be tabulated thus:--

I.--THE DOCTRINE OF THE RESURRECTION (1Corinthians 15:1-34). . . .

Verses 1-58. - The doctrine of the resurrection. This chapter, and the thirteenth, on Christian love, stand out, even among the writings of St. Paul, as pre-eminently beautiful and important. No human words ever written have brought such comfort to millions of mourners as the words of this chapter, which form a part of the Burial Service of almost every Christian community. It is the more deeply imprinted on the memory of men because it comes to us in the most solemn hours of bereavement, when we have most need of a living faith. The chapter falls into six sections.

1. The evidence of Christ's resurrection (vers. 1-11).

2. The resurrection of Christ is the foundation of our faith in the general resurrection (vers. 12-19).

3. Results to be deduced from Christ's resurrection (vers. 20 - 28). . . .
