1 Corinthians 6:14

is parl [971] to 1 Corinthians 6:13 b (“God” the agent in both), as 1 Corinthians 6:13 c to 1 Corinthians 6:13 a : the previous δὲ contrasted the several natures of βρώματα and σῶμα; this the opp [972] issues, καταργήσει and ἐξεγερεῖ. ὁ Κύριος is the determining factor of both contrasts. “God will abolish both the belly and its foods … but God both raised up the Lord, and will raise up us also through His power.” P. substitutes “us,” in the antithesis, for “our bodies,” since the man, including his body (see 1 Corinthians 15:35; 1 Corinthians 15:49) is the subject of resurrection. The saying ἀπαρχὴ Χριστός, of 1 Corinthians 15:23, supplies the nexus between τ. Κύριον ἤγειρεν and ἡμ. ἐξεγερεῖ; cf. also 2 Corinthians 4:14; Romans 8:11; Romans 14:9; Colossians 3:1; Philippians 3:21; John 5:20-30; John 14:2 ff., etc. The prefix in ἐξ - εγερεῖ is local out of (sc. the grave; cf. ἐξ - ανάστασις, Philippians 3:11); not de massa dormientium (Bg [973]). The raising of Christ (cf. Ephesians 1:19 ff.), then of Christians, from the dead is the supreme exhibition of God's supernatural “power” (see Romans 4:17-24; Matthew 22:29; Acts 26:8, etc.). Christ is raised as “Lord,” and will rule our life yon side of death more completely than on this (Acts 2:36; Colossians 1:18; Philippians 3:20 f.).
