And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead
This phrase introduces the central theme of divine empowerment and resurrection. The "Spirit of Him" refers to the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who is actively involved in the resurrection of Jesus. The Greek word for "Spirit" is "Pneuma," which signifies breath or wind, symbolizing life and divine presence. The historical context of resurrection was a powerful testament to the early Christians, affirming Jesus' victory over death and the promise of eternal life. The Spirit's role in raising Jesus underscores the power and authority of God over life and death.

is living in you
The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a profound truth for believers. The Greek word "oikei," translated as "living," implies a permanent residence, not a temporary visit. This indwelling signifies a personal and transformative relationship with God. Historically, the concept of God dwelling within His people was revolutionary, shifting from the Old Testament understanding of God's presence in the temple to a personal, intimate presence within each believer. This indwelling empowers believers to live a life that reflects Christ's character and victory.

He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead
This phrase reiterates the power of God in the resurrection, emphasizing the continuity and consistency of God's work. The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of Christian faith, providing assurance of God's power and the hope of eternal life. The use of "Christ Jesus" highlights both His messianic role and His humanity, bridging the divine and human aspects of salvation. Historically, the resurrection was a pivotal event that transformed the disciples and fueled the spread of Christianity.

will also give life to your mortal bodies
The promise of life to mortal bodies speaks to the future resurrection and transformation of believers. The Greek word "zoopoieo," meaning "to make alive," indicates a future action that is certain and assured. This promise provides hope and encouragement, affirming that physical death is not the end for believers. The historical context of Roman persecution and suffering made this promise particularly poignant, offering assurance of ultimate victory and restoration.

through His Spirit, who lives in you
The phrase emphasizes the means by which this transformation occurs—through the Holy Spirit. The repetition of the Spirit's indwelling reinforces the intimate and ongoing relationship between God and believers. The Spirit is both the agent of resurrection and the source of daily spiritual life and strength. This assurance of the Spirit's presence provides comfort and empowerment, enabling believers to live victoriously despite challenges and trials.

(11) And this vitality extends beyond the grave. It will even react upon that material body which had just been spoken of as given over to death. Die it must; but the same Spirit to which the soul owes its life will also reinfuse life into the dead body, just as the body of Christ of Himself was raised from the dead.

By his Spirit . . .--The balance of authority is in favour of the reading, "because of His Spirit" (as in margin); the other is an Alexandrian correction. It cannot be thought that God would leave in the grave that body in which His own Spirit has dwelt, i.e., has been with not only in close but permanent contact, though the psychological question was, of course, not present to the mind of the Apostle.
