Greek Commentary for 1 Corinthians 15:12
Personal use of the verb, Christ is preached. [source]
The question springs naturally from the proof of the fact of the resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-11) and the continual preaching which Paul here assumes by condition of the first class There were sceptics in Corinth, possibly in the church, who denied the resurrection of dead people just as some men today deny that miracles happen or ever did happen. Paul‘s answer is the resurrection of Christ as a fact. It all turns on this fact. [source]
Compare Aeschylus: “But who can recall by charms a man's dark blood shed in death, when once it has fallen to the ground at his feet? Had this been lawful, Zeus would not have stopped him who knew the right way to restore men from the dead” (“Agamemnon,” 987-992). [source]

Note the indefinite designation of the errorists, and comp. 1 Timothy 1:6; 1 Timothy 4:1; 1 Timothy 5:15, 1 Timothy 5:24; 1 Timothy 6:21. The expression is contemptuous. It is assumed that Timothy knows who they are. This is after the Pauline manner. See Galatians 1:7; Galatians 2:12; 1 Corinthians 4:18; 1 Corinthians 15:12; 2 Corinthians 3:1; Colossians 2:4, Colossians 2:8. [source]
Perfect passive participle of εγειρω egeirō still risen as the perfect tense shows in 1 Corinthians 15:4, 1 Corinthians 15:12-20. Predicate accusative. “Remember Jesus Christ as risen from the dead.” This is the cardinal fact about Christ that proves his claim to be the Messiah, the Son of God. Christ is central for Paul here as in Philemon 2:5-11. [source]
