There can be no eternity for human life except on the basis of the resurrection. Paul and the NT never speak of an immortal soul, or of deification by mysteries or magic, or of myths which reflect the hope of eternal life. They speak rather of the sovereign act of power which intervened in the history of Christ and which brought about His resurrection as the only basis of the new existence of Christians and of the eternal hope grounded in this existence in the power of the resurrection of Jesus.
\nIf this view of the NT concept of power is correct, we can understand why Paul writes to the Corinthians: \u2026 \u00ce\u00b3\u00ce\u00bd\u00cf\u017d\u00cf\u0192\u00ce\u00bf\u00ce\u00bc\u00ce\u00b1\u00ce\u00b9 \u00ce\u00bf\u00e1\u00bd\u0090 \u00cf\u201e\u00e1\u00bd\u00b8\u00ce\u00bd \u00ce\u00bb\u00cf\u0152\u00ce\u00b3\u00ce\u00bf\u00ce\u00bd \u00cf\u201e\u00e1\u00bf\u00b6\u00ce\u00bd \u00cf\u20ac\u00ce\u00b5\u00cf\u2020\u00cf\u2026\u00cf\u0192\u00ce\u00b9\u00cf\u2030\u00ce\u00bc\u00ce\u00ad\u00ce\u00bd\u00cf\u2030\u00ce\u00bd \u00e1\u00bc\u20ac\u00ce\u00bb\u00ce\u00bb\u00e1\u00bd\u00b0 \u00cf\u201e\u00e1\u00bd\u00b4\u00ce\u00bd \u00ce\u00b4\u00cf\u008d\u00ce\u00bd\u00ce\u00b1\u00ce\u00bc\u00ce\u00b9\u00ce\u00bd\u00c2\u00b7 \u00ce\u00bf\u00e1\u00bd\u0090 \u00ce\u00b3\u00e1\u00bd\u00b0\u00cf\u0081 \u00e1\u00bc\u0090\u00ce\u00bd \u00ce\u00bb\u00cf\u0152\u00ce\u00b3\u00e1\u00bf\u00b3 \u00e1\u00bc\u00a1 \u00ce\u00b2\u00ce\u00b1\u00cf\u0192\u00ce\u00b9\u00ce\u00bb\u00ce\u00b5\u00ce\u00af\u00ce\u00b1 \u00cf\u201e\u00ce\u00bf\u00e1\u00bf\u00a6 \u00ce\u00b8\u00ce\u00b5\u00ce\u00bf\u00e1\u00bf\u00a6, \u00e1\u00bc\u20ac\u00ce\u00bb\u00ce\u00bb\u00ca\u00bc \u00e1\u00bc\u0090\u00ce\u00bd \u00ce\u00b4\u00cf\u2026\u00ce\u00bd\u00ce\u00ac\u00ce\u00bc\u00ce\u00b5\u00ce\u00b9 (1 Cor. 4:19 f.).108<\/p>\n
