14 Now God hath raised up the Lord and will raise us up also by his power.

1 Corinthians 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 6:14

And God hath both raised up the Lord
God the Father has raised up from the dead the Lord Jesus Christ, though not exclusive of the Son, who was equally concerned in the resurrection of himself, whereby he demonstrated himself to be the Son of God, truly and properly God.

And will also raise up us by his own power;
for the resurrection of the dead, whether of Christ, or of his people, is an act of power, of God's own power, even of his almighty power, and is what the power of a mere creature could never effect. Now as Christ, the head, is raised, so shall all his members by the same power; their bodies will be raised powerful, glorious, incorruptible; and spiritual; an argument that they were never made for fornication, nor to be defiled with such uncleanness.

1 Corinthians 6:14 In-Context

12 All things are lawful to me: but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me: but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 Meat for the belly and the belly for the meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord: and the Lord for the body.
14 Now God hath raised up the Lord and will raise us up also by his power.
15 Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid!
16 Or know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.
