This study addresses the relationship between Paul's resurrection convictions and moral instruction as articulated in 1 Cor 15. The study explores how Paul argued for the veracity and nature of the future bodily resurrection in light of the Greco-Roman mores of those who denied the future resurrection, and also proposes how right convictions called for moral obligation. This aim can be posed as the question: How was Paul able to correct the convictions of the deniers of the resurrection in such a way that they also felt a resulting weight of moral obligation? Two primary lines of argumentation converge to answer this question. (1) Paul used the narrative of Scripture to identify with their storied culture and to replace their erroneous convictions. One of the fundamental findings of this study involves the source of the errant Corinthians' problem. Their afterlife belief structure was a syncretistic Christianized pagan mythology. More particularly, it was a mythologically-influenced eschatology, which separated afterlife expectations from living activities. If they had believed anything other than this, Paul could simply have pointed to the risen Jesus to redress their thinking. Paul, however, needed to argue further because, with their mythologically-influenced mindset, they could readily embrace the resurrection of Jesus, and yet reject the prospect of their own. (2) Paul leveraged the cultural norm of imitation that was already familiar to them as a component of the patronage system to ultimately motivate them toward ethical norms. These two lines of argumentation are interwoven throughout Paul's discussion of the resurrection. He accomplishes this via the bridge of the Greco-Roman hero. Traditional Greek heroes were an important part of the culture's storied religion, yet new heroes continued to be identified among the more gracious of patrons as public exempla. Thus Paul strategically addresses the Corinthian believers' error in a way that appealed to their culturally-formed sensibilities so that the result is his climactic exhortation to recognize the corollaries of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection for the life of the believer, which is to be lived in imitation of the risen Lord by enduring hardship, laboring tirelessly, and abstaining from sin.
