Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Corinthians 15:18

"Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished." — 1 Corinthians 15:18 (ASV)

Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

A supposition against which both nature and grace revolt.

Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

All the godly saints died resting in the risen Christ; and if he is not risen, they died under a delusion, and they have perished.
