"and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up as through his power." — 1 Corinthians 6:14 (ASV)
Will also raise up us.—This phrase is remarkable as one of the few which show that the Apostle, while he in common with the early Church expected the early advent of Christ, did not think that it would necessarily occur in his own lifetime. Here, as ever, the resurrection of the dead, when we will receive our spiritual body instead of the natural body, is joined with the fact of the resurrection of Christ the firstfruits.
