Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 15:1

1 MOreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you , which also you have received , and wherein ye stand .

The Apostle, towards the conclusion of his Epistle, comes to reprove the Corinthians for an errour in the Doctrine of the Resurrection from the dead; an errour, though last men[illegible: 2 letters]ioned, yet of all the most momentous. The Resurrection of the Body in the last Day, is an Article of Faith; to the first belief of which, Reason speaketh not sufficiently, and therefore it was denied by many Philosophers and worldly Wise-men, Act. 17.18. It should seem, that some in the Church of Corinth had sucked in some of their Notions; the Apostle therefore in this Chapter setteth himself to confirm that Article of the Christian Faith. To this purpose he begins, telling them, That that which he declared unto them, was the Gospel, that is, the Doctrine of the Gospel, which he had before preached to them,

and which they had heard, and believed, and embraced as the Truth of God, and

wherein the greatest part yet stood firm to their former Profession, though some of them had been seduced and warped.
