# 1 Corinthians 15.3-8 **Book:** [1 Corinthians](/codex/1-corinthians/) · NASB95 ## Verse > For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. (1 Corinthians 15:3-8, NASB95) ## Immediate context (±2 verses) **NASB95** ([NASB95](/codex/nasb95/)) > 1. Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 2. by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. > > **3. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; 7. then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 8. and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.** > > 9. For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. (1 Corinthians 15:1-10, NASB95) ## Setting - **Speaker:** Paul the Apostle. - **Audience:** the church at Corinth, a congregation Paul had founded c. AD 50-51 on his second missionary journey (Acts 18). Paul writes 1 Corinthians c. AD 54-55 from Ephesus (1 Corinthians 16:8-9) addressing multiple problems including factional divisions, sexual immorality, and, crucially for chapter 15, confusion or denial of the bodily resurrection (15:12). - **Location:** Paul writing from Ephesus to Corinth, c. AD 54-55. ## Theological reading, the pre-Pauline gospel creed The verses are widely recognized as **the earliest extant Christian creed**, a pre-Pauline summary statement that Paul received as tradition and transmitted to the Corinthians. The technical evidence: 1. **Transmission vocabulary.** *Paredōka* ("I delivered") + *parelabon* ("I received"), the standard Jewish-rabbinic transmission formula (compare m. *Avot* 1:1: "Moses received [קבל] the Torah at Sinai, and *delivered* [מסר] it to Joshua"). Paul deliberately uses the equivalent Greek terms to mark the content as **received tradition**, not Pauline composition. See [G3860 - paradidomi](/codex/g3860-paradidomi/). 2. **Hebraic stylistic markers.** The four-fold *hoti* clauses ("that Christ died… that He was buried… that He was raised… that He appeared") form a parallel structure typical of early-Christian formulaic confession. The phrase *kata tas graphas* ("according to the Scriptures") repeats in vv. 3 and 4, framing the formula. 3. **Non-Pauline vocabulary.** Several phrases in vv. 3-5 are atypical of Paul's normal vocabulary, including *Kēphas* (Aramaic-form Cephas, used for Peter; Paul more typically uses Greek *Petros*) and *hyper tōn hamartiōn hēmōn* ("for our sins," plural, Paul more typically writes "for our sin" singular or "for me"). 4. **Dating implication.** Paul wrote 1 Corinthians c. AD 54-55. He says he delivered this tradition to the Corinthians on his founding visit (c. AD 50-51). He received it earlier, most plausibly on his Jerusalem visit with Peter and James (c. AD 36-38, three years after his conversion, per Galatians 1:18). This places the *content* of the gospel creed within ~5 years of the resurrection itself. ## The four-fold structure 1. **Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures.** Substitutionary atonement. The "according to the Scriptures" anchors the death in OT prophetic context, primarily [Isaiah 53](/codex/isaiah-53/) and the Suffering Servant motif. 2. **He was buried.** Confirms the reality of death, burial is what you do with the dead. Eliminates "swoon theory" and similar revisionist hypotheses. 3. **He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures.** Bodily resurrection. The "third day" formula matches the gospel narratives (Sunday after Friday crucifixion, counting inclusively). The OT "according to the Scriptures" anchors typologically (Hosea 6:2; Jonah 1:17 / Matthew 12:40). 4. **He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, then to 500+, then to James, then to all the apostles, then to me.** Six appearance categories, multiple eyewitness groups. Paul names *Cephas* (Peter) and *James* (Jesus's brother) specifically, both leaders the Corinthians could verify with. Notes that "most" of the 500 are "still alive" (v. 6), an open invitation to fact-check. ## Apologetic significance, the resurrection argument The passage is **the linchpin of the modern historical-resurrection apologetic**. Gary Habermas (*The Risen Jesus and Future Hope*, 2003; *The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus* with Mike Licona, 2004), N. T. Wright (*The Resurrection of the Son of God*, 2003), and Mike Licona (*The Resurrection of Jesus*, 2010) develop the case structurally: **The "minimal facts" argument.** Even granting only what nearly all critical scholars accept: 1. **Jesus died by Roman crucifixion**, universally accepted (Crossan, Funk, Borg, etc. all grant this). 2. **The disciples believed they encountered the risen Christ**, universally accepted; their transformed lives + martyrdom are explained only by genuine belief in resurrection appearances. 3. **The conversion of Paul** (former persecutor), universally accepted; Paul attributes it to a resurrection encounter. 4. **The conversion of James** (Jesus's skeptical brother), accepted; he becomes a leader of the Jerusalem church. The 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 creed predates all four facts and *contains* them. This eliminates "legendary development" theories: the content cannot have evolved over decades because it was already creedal within 5 years. **The eyewitness factor.** Paul writes c. AD 54-55, naming *living* witnesses (Peter, James, the Twelve, 500+) the Corinthians could verify. This is not myth or distant tradition; it is appeal to checkable witness. Richard Bauckham (*Jesus and the Eyewitnesses*, 2006) develops the eyewitness-testimony case for NT historicity. ## The "according to the Scriptures" claim The repeated *kata tas graphas* (vv. 3, 4) anchors the gospel content in OT prophetic fulfillment: - Christ died for sins **according to the Scriptures**, primarily [Isaiah 53](/codex/isaiah-53/) (the Suffering Servant); also Psalm 22 (the suffering messianic king); the sacrificial system as typology. - Christ raised on the third day **according to the Scriptures**, Hosea 6:2 ("on the third day He will raise us up"); Jonah 1:17 cited in Matthew 12:40; Psalm 16:10 cited in Acts 2:27, 13:35. The earliest Christian gospel was *not* presented as a new religion but as the *fulfillment of OT prophecy*. This grounds Christian-Jewish apologetic and the typological hermeneutic. ## Patristic / scholarly note The pre-Pauline-creed analysis is broadly accepted in modern scholarship across the spectrum: - **Conservative**: Gary Habermas (*The Risen Jesus*), N. T. Wright (*The Resurrection of the Son of God*), Mike Licona (*The Resurrection of Jesus*), Craig Blomberg (*The Historical Reliability of the Gospels*). - **Critical / mainline**: Joachim Jeremias (*The Eucharistic Words of Jesus*, 1966), Hans Conzelmann (*1 Corinthians* Hermeneia), even James Dunn (*Jesus Remembered*) and Bart Ehrman (*Did Jesus Exist?*), all acknowledge the creedal-pre-Pauline character of 1 Corinthians 15:3-8. The patristic tradition treats the verses as foundational kerygma, Tertullian (*Against Marcion* III.8), Irenaeus (*Against Heresies* III.18), and the early credal tradition (Apostles' Creed, Nicene Creed) all expand on the four-fold structure. The Reformed tradition (Calvin's *Institutes* II.16.13-14; *1 Corinthians* commentary, ad loc.) treats vv. 3-4 as the essential gospel content. Modern conservative: Anthony Thiselton (*1 Corinthians* NIGTC, 2000); David Garland (*1 Corinthians* BECNT, 2003); Roy Ciampa and Brian Rosner (*1 Corinthians* PNTC, 2010). ## Connection to "Argument from the Resurrection" syllogism The passage is the **biblical anchor** of the resurrection-apologetic syllogism (pending in [Arguments](/codex/arguments/)): 1. The resurrection appearances are well-attested historically (1 Cor 15:3-8 + Gospels + Acts). 2. The best explanation of the data is a real bodily resurrection. 3. Therefore, Jesus rose from the dead. 4. Therefore, Christianity's central claim is true. See also [Matthew 28.6](/codex/matthew-28-6/) for the four-fact framework. ## Key words - [G3860 - paradidomi](/codex/g3860-paradidomi/), *paradidōmi* (deliver / hand over), transmission verb - G3880 -
