(<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">Heb 6:1, 2</a>) Some were arguing that “there is no resurrection of the dead.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">1Co 15:12</a>) Paul drew attention to those who said: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we are to die.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">1Co 15:32</a>) He may have been quoting <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Isa 22:13</a>, but those words well reflected the thinking of people influenced by such Greek philosophers as Epicurus, who denied that there was life after death.

prematurely:</strong> The Greek word rendered “one born prematurely” can refer to a child whose birth comes abruptly, traumatically, and at the wrong time. Paul uses this term in a figurative sense to describe what happened at his conversion when the resurrected Jesus appeared to him on the road to Damascus. However, Paul’s use of this term could be understood in more than one way. Perhaps he meant that his conversion, during which he lost his sight temporarily, was both unexpected and traumatic not only to him but also to others. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/19/0" data-bid="20-1" class="b">Ac 9:3-9,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/19/1" data-bid="20-2" class="b"> 17-19</a>) Or he may have meant that he had figuratively been born as a Christian (or converted) at the wrong time compared with those mentioned in the preceding verses, that is, after Jesus had already returned to heaven. Or perhaps Paul was speaking of himself in a humble way, acknowledging that he did not deserve the privilege he had been given. This would harmonize with what he says at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/20/0" data-bid="21-1" class="b">1Co 15:9, 10</a>.

He emphasizes the point by mentioning God’s “undeserved kindness” three times in this verse. (See Glossary, “<a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/6/0">Undeserved kindness</a>.”) That emphasis provides the context for Paul’s statement that he <strong>labored more than all of them,</strong> meaning the other apostles. Paul appreciated God’s mercy in choosing him, a former persecutor of Christians, to become an apostle. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/23/0" data-bid="24-1" class="b">1Ti 1:12-16</a>) To show his gratitude, Paul labored with the utmost intensity to carry out his assignment. He traveled vast distances over land and sea to spread the good news, establishing numerous congregations. In connection with his ministry, Paul was inspired to write 14 letters that became part of the Christian Greek Scriptures. Jehovah also blessed him with the gift of speaking in tongues; with visions; and with the ability to perform other miracles, including a resurrection.

presence:</strong> This term is first used at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/43/0" data-bid="44-1" class="b">Mt 24:3</a>, where some of Jesus’ disciples ask him about “the sign of [his] presence.” It refers to the royal presence of Jesus Christ from the time of his invisible enthronement as Messianic King at the beginning of the last days of this system of things. The Greek word rendered “presence” is <em>pa·rou·siʹa,</em> and while many translations render it “coming,” it literally means “being alongside.” His presence would span a period of time rather than simply involve a momentary coming or arrival. This meaning of <em>pa·rou·siʹa</em> is indicated at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/44/0" data-bid="45-1" class="b">Mt 24:37-39</a>, where “the days of Noah . . . before the Flood” are compared to “the presence of the Son of man.” Also, at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/45/0" data-bid="46-1" class="b">Php 2:12</a>, Paul used <em>pa·rou·siʹa</em> to describe his “presence” in contrast with his “absence.” (See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/12/0">study note on 1Co 16:17</a>.) Thus, Paul explains that the resurrection to life in heaven for <strong>those who belong to the Christ,</strong> that is, Christ’s spirit-anointed brothers and joint heirs, would occur some time after Jesus was installed as heavenly King in God’s Kingdom.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/46/15/434" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-435"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Re 1:5</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-435" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-435" class="extract"></div></div></li><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/46/15/435" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-436"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Mt 24:3;

be brought to nothing:</strong> Or “death is to be destroyed.” Lit., “death is being made ineffective.” Here Paul speaks of the end of Adamic death and its consequences. An essential part of bringing death to nothing involves bringing the dead back to life through the resurrection (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/50/0" data-bid="51-1" class="b">Joh 5:28</a>), a teaching that Paul vigorously upholds in this context. However, in order to do away with death completely, all traces of Adamic sin also need to be removed. Therefore, Paul goes on to explain that sin, “the sting producing death,” is to be done away with by means of Jesus Christ’s ransom sacrifice. By both of these means—the resurrection and the ransom—God destroys death, rendering it ineffective. Paul later says: “Death is swallowed up forever.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/51/0" data-bid="52-1" class="b">1Co 15:54-57</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div

In this context, he states that spirit-anointed Christians are baptized, or immersed, into a course of life that will lead to a death of integrity like that of Christ. Afterward, they will be raised to spirit life, as Jesus was. This baptism includes trials similar to those faced by Jesus himself and often leads to a death like his.

Some Bibles translate the phrase “being baptized <em>for</em> the dead” or similar. This rendering has led some to the conclusion that the verse refers to the baptizing of living individuals as substitutes for and on behalf of dead ones. Nowhere, though, does the Bible mention such a baptism; nor is there proof that the practice existed in Paul’s day. Furthermore, this understanding would not be in accord with scriptures that clearly state that those getting baptized were “disciples” who themselves “gladly accepted” God’s message and personally “believed.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/61/0" data-bid="62-1" class="b">Mt 28:19;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/61/1" data-bid="62-2" class="b"> Ac 2:41;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/61/2" data-bid="62-3" class="b"> 8:12</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/46/15/444" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-445"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Ro 6:3, 4;

While scholars have suggested that this punishment did not apply to Roman citizens like Paul, there is historical evidence that some Roman citizens were thrown to beasts or made to fight with them. What Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians could describe an encounter with literal wild beasts in an arena. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/63/0" data-bid="64-1" class="b">2Co 1:8-10</a>) If Paul was thrown to literal beasts, then his rescue was likely by divine intervention. (Compare <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/64/0" data-bid="65-1" class="b">Da 6:22</a>.) This experience may thus have been one of the several “near-deaths” that Paul experienced in his ministry. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/65/0" data-bid="66-1" class="b">2Co 11:23</a>) Other scholars feel that Paul is here referring to wild beasts in a figurative sense, describing the opposition of beastlike opposers in Ephesus.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/66/0" data-bid="67-1" class="b">Ac 19:23-41</a>.</p> <p id="p47" data-pid="47" class="s5"><strong>let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we are to die:</strong> Paul here quotes <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/67/0" data-bid="68-1" class="b">Isa 22:13</a>, which epitomized the attitude of Jerusalem’s disobedient inhabitants. Instead of repenting when faced with the threat of destruction, they gave themselves over to pleasure-seeking. Paul may have quoted these words because they reflected the thinking of those who denied the resurrection hope. For example, such groups as the Epicureans did not believe in a resurrection; they focused on living for the present. But as Paul points out, the resurrection is a reality, giving Christians ample reason and motivation to maintain their self-sacrificing course.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/68/0"

data-pid="49" class="s5"><strong>Bad associations spoil useful habits:</strong> Or “Bad company corrupts good morals.” This appears to be a proverb or an expression used in Paul’s day that conveys a basic principle found in other Bible verses.

(<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/71/0" data-bid="72-1" class="b">1Co 15:3-8</a>; see <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/16/0">study note on 1Co 15:12</a>.) Paul knew that association with those who rejected this and other well-founded Christian teachings would be destructive to faith and could “spoil” (Greek, <em>phtheiʹro,</em> meaning “to corrupt, to ruin”) the good habits and thinking of others. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/72/0" data-bid="73-1" class="b">Ac 20:30;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/72/1" data-bid="73-2" class="b"> 1Ti 4:1;</a><a

person, Paul likens the burial of the physical body to the sowing of a seed. A seed dies in the sense that once planted, it disintegrates. Then it becomes a plant that differs entirely from the seed in form and appearance. (Compare <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/77/0" data-bid="78-1" class="b">Joh 12:24</a>.) Similarly, a Christian who is chosen by God to be a joint heir with His Son and to receive incorruption and immortality in heaven must first die.

The last Adam:</strong> In the first part of the verse, Paul quotes from <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/88/0" data-bid="89-1" class="b">Ge 2:7</a> (“the man became a living person”), but he adds the words “first” and “Adam.” In the second part of the verse, he calls Jesus “the last Adam.” Then at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/89/0" data-bid="90-1" class="b">1Co 15:47</a>, Paul calls Adam “the first man [or, “human”]” and Jesus “the second man [or, “human”].” The first Adam disobeyed his Father and Life-Giver; the last Adam showed complete obedience to Him. The first Adam spread sin to his offspring; the last Adam gave his human life as a sin-atoning sacrifice. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/90/0" data-bid="91-1" class="b">Ro 5:12,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/90/1" data-bid="91-2" class="b"> 18, 19</a>) Jehovah then restored Jesus to life as a spirit. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/91/0" data-bid="92-1" class="b">1Pe 3:18</a>) Like Adam, Jesus was a perfect man, so in harmony with His own justice, Jehovah could accept Jesus’ sacrifice as “a corresponding ransom” to buy back Adam’s descendants. This ransom sacrifice would restore to humans the life prospects that the first Adam had forfeited. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/92/0" data-bid="93-1" class="b">1Ti 2:5, 6</a>) Thus, Jesus could rightfully be called “the last Adam,” a term that indicates that there will be no need for another Adam after him.—Compare <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/21/0">study notes on Lu 3:38;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/22/0"> Ro 5:14</a>.</p> <p id="p64" data-pid="64"

Christian Greek Scriptures, at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/99/0" data-bid="100-1" class="b">1Co 15:53, 54</a> and <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/100/0" data-bid="101-1" class="b">1Ti 6:16</a>. The basic meaning is “not subject to death.” It refers to the quality of life that is enjoyed, its endlessness and indestructibility. The anointed followers of Christ, who as <strong>mortal</strong> humans serve God faithfully, are resurrected as something more than spirit creatures having everlasting life. Jehovah gives them “indestructible life”—an outstanding demonstration of his confidence in them.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/101/0" data-bid="102-1" class="b">Heb 7:16</a>; compare <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/24/0">study note on 1Co 15:42</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/46/15/469" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-470"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Ro 2:6, 7</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-470" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-470" class="extract"></div></div></li><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/46/15/470" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-471"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">2Co 5:4</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-471" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-471" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p997" data-pid="997" class="se"></p> <p id="p998" data-pid="998" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204436/1134/0"><em>Insight,</em> Volume 1<em>,</em> pp. 1189-1190</a></p> <div id="p999" data-pid="999"><p data-pid="999" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204436/1135/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="999" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204436/1135/0">2/15/2009, p. 25</a></p><p data-pid="999" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204436/1136/0">7/1/1998, p. 20</a></p> </div><p id="p1000" data-pid="1000" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p301" data-pid="301" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270046/299/0">it-1 1189-1190;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270046/299/3"> w09 2/15 25;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270046/299/5"> w98 7/1 20;</a></p> <p id="p302" data-pid="302" class="sx"></p> <p id="p380" data-pid="380" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/378/0">g84 10/8 11;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/378/2"> w72 622,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/378/4"> 717;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/378/6"> dn 13-14;</a><span class="ni"> im 146,</span><span class="ni"> 349;</span><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/378/10"> w63 234,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/378/11"> 240,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/378/12"> 733;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/378/13"> w62 316;</a><span class="ni"> g62 4/22 6;</span><span class="ni"> g61 10/8 17;</span><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/378/16"> w60 518;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/378/17"> w55 539;</a><span class="ni"> dh 33;</span><span class="ni"> nh 318;</span><span class="ni"> w47 101;</span><span class="ni"> w44 122;</span><span class="ni"> w41 156;</span><span class="ni"> ch 204</span></p> <p id="p381" data-pid="381" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="46-15-54" data-section-citation="046015054046015054"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">1 Corinthians 15:54</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p72" data-pid="72" class="s5"><strong>Death is swallowed up forever:</strong> By quoting what was written by Isaiah in the eighth century B.C.E., Paul shows that God had long ago promised an end to Adamic death.

Paul’s quotation is, in part, from the <em>Septuagint,</em> which reads: “Where is your penalty [or “punishment”], O death?

At <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/120/0" data-bid="121-1" class="b">Col 1:23</a>, the same term is rendered “steadfast” and is used in parallel with the expression “established on the foundation.” It involves standing one’s ground by means of implicit faith in God and his promises. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/121/0" data-bid="122-1" class="b">1Pe 5:9</a>) The expression “immovable” conveys a similar meaning and refers to something that is unshakable, not moving from its place. In the face of difficulties and attacks on his faith, a Christian has hope that is like “an anchor” that holds fast a ship so that it is not moved from its moorings. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/122/0" data-bid="123-1" class="b">Heb 6:19</a>) Paul uses the two terms rendered “steadfast” and “immovable” together to express his wish that his Corinthian brothers be absolutely determined to hold fast to their hope and faith, confident that their labors “in the work of the Lord” are never in vain.</p> <p id="p80" data-pid="80" class="s5"><strong>the work of the Lord . . . in connection with the Lord:</strong> In this context, the Greek term <em>Kyʹri·os</em> (“Lord”) could refer either to Jehovah God or to Jesus Christ. Here “the Lord” may well refer to Jehovah, since Paul says of the Christian ministry, “we are God’s fellow workers,” and he calls this ministry “the work of Jehovah.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/123/0" data-bid="124-1" class="b">1Co 3:9;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/123/1" data-bid="124-2" class="b"> 16:10;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/123/2" data-bid="124-3" class="b"> Isa 61:1, 2;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/123/3" data-bid="124-4" class="b"> Lu 4:18, 19;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/123/4" data-bid="124-5" class="b"> Joh 5:17;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/123/5" data-bid="124-6" class="b"> Ro 12:11</a>) Also, when Jesus spoke about the spiritual harvest work, he referred to Jehovah God as “the Master [or, “Lord” (Greek, <em>Kyʹri·os</em>)] of the harvest.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070748/124/0" data-bid="125-1" class="b">Mt 9:38</a>) It is possible, however, that Paul had in mind the work, or ministry, that Jesus spearheaded when on earth.
