Real death and rising.

My spirit is a lowly offering laid down for the cross. To those who do not believe, the cross is a stumbling block (1 Corinthians 1:23); to us it is salvation and eternal life (1 Corinthians 1:18). Where is the wise man?
Περίψημα τὸ ἐμὸν πνεῦμα τοῦ σταυροῦ, ὅ ἐστιν σκάνδαλον τοῖς ἀπιστοῦσιν, ἡμῖν δὲ σωτηρία καὶ ζωὴ αἰώνιος, ποῦ σοφός; ποῦ συζητητής; ποῦ καύχησις τῶν λεγομένων συνετῶν;
I give glory to Jesus Christ, the God who has made you this wise. I have seen that you are made complete in a faith that cannot be shaken, as though you were nailed to the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ in flesh and in spirit, and set firm in love by the blood of Christ. You are fully convinced about our Lord.
Δοξάζω Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν τὸν θεὸν τὸν οὕτως ὑμᾶς σοφίσαντα: ἐνόησα γὰρ ὑμᾶς κατηρτισμένους ἐν ἀκινήτῳ πίστει, ὥσπερ καθηλωμένους ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ σαρκί τε καὶ πνεύματι καὶ ἡδρασμένους ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἐν τῷ αἵματι Χριστοῦ, πεπληροφορημένους εἰς τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν, ἀληθῶς…
All of this he suffered for us, so that we might be saved. And he suffered truly, just as he truly raised himself. Some unbelievers say his suffering was only an appearance.
Ταῦτα γὰρ πάντα ἔπαθεν δἰ ἡμᾶς, ἵνα σωθῶμεν: καὶ ἀληθῶς ἔπαθεν, ὡς καὶ ἀληθῶς ἀνέστησεν ἑαυτόν, οὐχ ὥσπερ ἄπιστοί τινες λέγουσιν, τὸ δοκεῖν αὐτὸν πεπονθέναι, αὐτοὶ το δοκεῖν ὄντες: καὶ καθὼς φρονοῦσιν, καὶ συμβήσεται αὐτοῖς, οὖσιν ἀσωμάτοις καὶ δαιμονικοῖς.
I know it and I believe it: even after the resurrection he is in the flesh. When he came to Peter and those with him, he told them, “Take hold of me. Touch me, and see that I am not a bodiless demon” (compare Luke 24:39).
Ἐγὼ γὰρ καὶ μετὰ τὴν ἀνάστασιν ἐν σαρκὶ αὐτὸν οἶδα καὶ πιστεύω ὄντα.
For to this end the Lord endured to deliver up His flesh to corruption, that we might be sanctified through the remission of sins, which is effected by His blood of sprinkling.
Εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ὑπέμεινεν ὁ κύριος παραδοῦναι τὴν σάρκα εἰς καταφθοράν, ἵνα τῇ ἀφέσει τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἁγνισθῶμεν, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ῥαντίσματος αὐτοῦ.
