τὰ φ. πράξ. Practised worthless things. see on John 3:20.

εἰς�. κρ. Unto the resurrection of judgment. These words are the strongest proof that spiritual resurrection cannot be meant. Spiritual resurrection must always be a resurrection of life, a passing from spiritual death to spiritual life. A passing from spiritual death to judgment is not spiritual resurrection. This passage, and Acts 24:15, are the only direct assertions in N.T. of a bodily resurrection of the wicked. It is implied, Matthew 10:28; Revelation 20:12-13. Comp. Daniel 12:2. A satisfactory translation for κρίνειν and κρίσις is not easy to find: they combine the notions of ‘separating’ and ‘judging,’ and from the context often acquire the further notion of ‘condemning.’ see on John 3:17-18, and for the genitive Winer, p. 235.
