will be raised. But the resurrection c vocpwv (ek nekron
= out of the dead) is not once applied to the ungodly.*
The latter phrase is used altogether 49 times, to-wit:
34 times, to express Christ's resurrection, whom we
know was thus raised out of the dead.^
3 times, to express John's supposed resurrection, who,
as Herod thought, had been thus raised out of the dead.\
3 times, to express the resurrection of Lazarus, who was
also raised out of the dead.\\
3 times, it is used figuratively, to express spiritual life
out of the deadness of sin.
Rom. 6:13: "As those that are alive from the dead";
11:15: "Life from the dead."
Eph. 5:14: "Arise from the dead."
It is used in Luke 16:31. Parable of the rich man.
"Though one rose from the dead."
And in Heb. 11:19. Abraham's faith that God could
raise Isaac from the dead.
And the remaining 4 times it is used to express a future
resurrection out of the dead, namely, in Mark 12 :25, where
Jesus says: "When they shall rise from the dead (In
veKpwv ) they neither marry, nor are given in marriage ; but
are as the angels which are in heaven," and in Luke 20 :35-
36. "But they which shall be accounted worthy to ob-
tain that world, and the resurrection which is from among
(the) dead (rrjor dvoorao-ccos Tr)<r IK vfKp&v), neither mar-
ry, nor are given in marriage; neither can they die any
more; for they are equal unto the angels; and are the chil-
dren of God, being the children of the resurrection.

42 and especially John 5:28-29 (R. V.): 28. Marvel not at this:
for the hour cometh. in which all that are in the tombs
shall hear his voice, 29 and shall come forth; they that have
done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have
done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
