In chapter 15, Paul addresses the crucial doctrine of resurrection.

He explains the nature of the resurrection body, drawing analogies to seeds sown in the ground and the transformation from perishable to imperishable. Paul details the victory over death through Christ's resurrection, the defeat of sin, and the ultimate triumph at Christ's second coming. He concludes with exhortations for believers to steadfastly live in light of the hope of resurrection, encouraging them to be steadfast and immovable, dedicated to the work of the Lord.

In 1 Corinthians 16, Paul discusses the collection for the saints in Jerusalem, advising them on the orderly and systematic way to prepare for this offering. He encourages them to honor and support fellow workers in the faith, such as Timothy and Apollos. Additionally, he addresses various matters concerning personal conduct, highlighting the importance of love, diligence, and submission to godly leadership. Paul concludes with greetings, instructions, and a final exhortation, ending the letter with his customary benediction and expressing his deep love for the Corinthian believers.
