Notes
Then He appeared to James: This James was almost certainly the brother of Jesus. He became a leader of the Jerusalem church after Jesus died (see Mark 6:3; John 7:1–5; Galatians 1:19; compare Acts 12:17; 15:13; 21:18).
Paul summarizes the good news about Jesus he preached.
Some church members doubted a future resurrection of the dead. Paul reassures them and addresses their skeptical questions by discussing the nature of a resurrection body.
