And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you
This phrase emphasizes the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, the same power that resurrected Jesus. The Spirit's presence is a fulfillment of Jesus' promise in John 14:16-17, where He assures His disciples of the coming Helper. The resurrection power signifies victory over death, a central theme in Christian theology, affirming the hope of eternal life. The indwelling Spirit is a mark of true believers, as seen in 1 Corinthians 3:16, where Paul states that believers are God's temple.

He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead
This refers to God the Father, who, according to Acts 2:24, raised Jesus, breaking the bonds of death. The resurrection is a cornerstone of Christian faith, as it validates Jesus' divinity and His victory over sin and death. It fulfills Old Testament prophecies, such as Psalm 16:10, which speaks of God not allowing His Holy One to see decay. The resurrection is also a type of the future resurrection of believers, as Paul elaborates in 1 Corinthians 15.

will also give life to your mortal bodies
This promise of life to mortal bodies points to the future resurrection of believers, a hope that is central to Christian eschatology. In 1 Corinthians 15:42-44, Paul describes the transformation from perishable to imperishable bodies. This assurance of bodily resurrection is rooted in the belief that just as Christ was raised, so too will His followers be raised, as affirmed in Philippians 3:21.

through His Spirit, who lives in you
The Holy Spirit is the agent of this promised transformation, living within believers as a guarantee of their future inheritance, as stated in Ephesians 1:13-14. The Spirit's indwelling presence is a source of spiritual life and empowerment, enabling believers to live in accordance with God's will. This ongoing presence is a testament to the new covenant relationship between God and His people, as prophesied in Ezekiel 36:26-27, where God promises to put His Spirit within His people, causing them to follow His decrees.

Persons / Places / Events
1. The Spirit of Him
Refers to the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who is active in the resurrection of Jesus and in the lives of believers.

2. Jesus
The Son of God, whose resurrection is central to Christian faith, demonstrating victory over sin and death.

3. Christ Jesus
Emphasizes the anointed role of Jesus as the Messiah and Savior.

4. Mortal Bodies
Refers to the physical bodies of believers, which are subject to decay and death but are promised resurrection life.

5. Dwelling of the Spirit
The indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in believers, signifying a transformative and life-giving relationship.
Teaching Points
The Power of the Resurrection
The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in believers, offering hope and assurance of eternal life.

Indwelling of the Holy Spirit
The presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is a guarantee of our future resurrection and a source of daily strength and guidance.

Transformation of the Mortal
Our physical bodies, though subject to decay, are promised renewal and transformation through the Spirit.

Living in the Spirit
Believers are called to live by the Spirit, allowing His presence to guide and empower their daily lives.

Hope in the Resurrection
The promise of life to our mortal bodies provides hope and encouragement in the face of life's challenges and the reality of death.(11) And this vitality extends beyond the grave. It will even react upon that material body which had just been spoken of as given over to death. Die it must; but the same Spirit to which the soul owes its life will also reinfuse life into the dead body, just as the body of Christ of Himself was raised from the dead.

By his Spirit . . .--The balance of authority is in favour of the reading, "because of His Spirit" (as in margin); the other is an Alexandrian correction. It cannot be thought that God would leave in the grave that body in which His own Spirit has dwelt, i.e., has been with not only in close but permanent contact, though the psychological question was, of course, not present to the mind of the Apostle.
