Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:12 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
Paul, in his first epistle to the Corinthians, sets his mark on certain who denied and doubted the resurrection.
I am content to illustrate this imperfection by the fact that even those whom he saves are found to possess but an imperfect salvation-that is, they are saved only so far as the soul is concerned.
Ours is a better faith, which believes in a future Christ, than the heretic's, which has none at all to believe in. Touching the resurrection of the dead.
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain, because ye are yet in your sins, and they which have fallen asleep in Christ are perished."
