Paul now uses many words to correct a serious doctrinal error—the Corinthians' disbelief in the resurrection (1Cor 15:12, 35). He refutes them for this:-

By pointing out that Jesus Himself resurrected (1Cor 15:3-4, 20) and there were witnesses of this fact (1Cor 15:5-8).

Arguing by logical contradiction against the Corinthians themselves, that there are those who baptize "for the dead" (1Cor 15:29), if indeed they alleged this as true. This is a controversial phrase but used by Paul for argument's sake.

The sheer madness and improbability of having to go through the thick and thin of life only to find out that life's actions (including all faithful work and deeds of the Corinthians) have no consequences. The logical response of this faulty view would then be "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die" (1Cor 15:32).

Paul shows them a glimpse of the future (1Cor 15:51-57), "the resurrection of the dead" (1Cor 15:42).

APPLICATION (For the Corinthians and us): "Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." (1 Cor 15:58)

保罗现在用了很多文字来修正一个很严重的神学错误-哥林多人对死人复活的不信(林前15:12,35)。他为此反驳了他们:-

他指出了耶稣他自己的复活(林前15:3-4,20)和有目击者的事实(林前15:5-8)。

以哥林多人自己在逻辑上的矛盾为辩解，当时有人为“死去的人”受洗(林前15:29)，如果那是真的。这话是有争议性的，但保罗用它来辩解。

在经历了生命中的风风雨雨后才发现生命的作为(包括所有哥林多人忠心付出的劳力和爱心)没有任何结果，这简直是疯狂的且是绝对不可能的。这种错误的观念，只能以逻辑来回应“我们就吃吃喝喝吧，因为我们明天就要死了”(林前15:32)。

保罗让他们看到了未来(林前15:51-57),“死人复活”(林前15:42)。

应用(给哥林多人和自己):“所以，我亲爱的弟兄们，你们务要坚固，不可动摇，常常竭力多作主工，因为知道你们的劳苦，在主里面不是徒然的。”(林前15:58)。
