Study note
Setting — Paul writes to the Corinthian believers to anchor their present ministry and suffering in a guaranteed future hope.
The words — ἐγείρας (egeiras) = having raised up. This aorist participle identifies God as the agent who already acted on Jesus and will act again on believers.
The thread — The resurrection promise recurs in Romans 8:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:14, and 1 Corinthians 6:14. These passages consistently link Christ’s resurrection to the future resurrection of believers.
Why it lands — The text states that God will raise believers with Jesus and present them before Him. This requires the reader to anchor present endurance in guaranteed future resurrection rather than current circumstances.
