1 Corinthians 15:1

Now. make known unto you brethren, the gospel which. preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,

'Now. make known unto you' -'Now let me remind you' (Wms) 'Reproachfully, as having to declare the Gospel anew.' (Vincent p. 273) (Hebrews 5:12) 'Paul writes, with. touch of blame, as though informing the Cor. of what the staple of his message had been, that on which their whole Christianity is built.' (Gr. Ex. N.T. p. 918)

'Paul does not begin by naming the subject which he intends to treat..He starts with. reminder of the pertinent gospel facts on which the faith of the Corinthians rests. Not until he reaches v. 12 do the Corinthians hear that some men in their midst make this entire discussion necessary.' (Lenski p. 625)

'the gospel which. preached unto you' -

We should note that "the gospel" has certain facts about it. Certain "doctrines" make up the gospel message. (1 Corinthians 15:3; Acts 8:5; 35-36; Mark 16:15) Recently some have tried to make. distinction between the belief's comprise the "gospel" and which beliefs comprise "doctrine".

'which also ye received' -this is the same gospel that he had initially preached to them, and which they had embraced. (Acts 18:8)

'wherein also ye stand' -'on which your faith is based' (Bas) Seeing that the Corinthians weren't taking. decisive "stand" for Christ. This phrase probably means, something like, 'the gospel he preached is also the one to which they owe their very existence (as Christians).' (Fee p. 720) 'By which you have your standing in Christ.' (Romans 5:2; Romans 11:20) (F.F. Bruce p. 138)
