{Is preached} (k(8872)ussetai). Personal use of the verb,
Christ is preached. {How say some among you?} (p(9373) legousin en
humin tines?). The question springs naturally from the proof of
the fact of the resurrection of Christ (verses  1-11 ) and the
continual preaching which Paul here assumes by condition of the
first class (ei--k(8872)ussetai). There were sceptics in Corinth,
possibly in the church, who denied the resurrection of dead
people just as some men today deny that miracles happen or ever
did happen. Paul's answer is the resurrection of Christ as a
fact. It all turns on this fact.
