1 Corinthians 15: Resurrection

1-34
- Paul rebuked the congregation for their disbelief of the resurrection of the dead (at the end of time).
- The congregation believes that Jesus is their savior, and was resurrected from the dead, but they don't seem to believe that resurrection for themselves is possible
- Paul builds his case by referring to the resurrection of Jesus:
--> if there's no resurrection, Jesus can't be resurrected, so what they believe is not valid
--> since Jesus was resurrected (proven by hard-fact appearances to the followers), then resurrection must be possible

35-58
- in resurrection, natural body will become spiritual body that's imperishable
