Him that raised up Jesus from the dead; a periphrasis of God the Father. The Son raised himself, 1 Thessalonians 2:19, 1 Thessalonians 10:18; and yet the Father is said here to raise him from the dead: see notes on Romans 1:4. Quicken your mortal bodies; raise them from a state of mortality, and all the attendants, to a glorious immortal life. By his Spirit that dwelleth in you: q.d. If you are sanctified by the Spirit, you shall be raised up by the Spirit also, as Christ was. The wicked also shall be raised at the last day. But the righteous shall be raised after a peculiar manner; they shall be raised, as by the almighty power of God, so by virtue of their union with Christ as his members, and by virtue of their relation to the Spirit as his temples. They only shall partake of a resurrection that is desirable and beneficial to them. Therefore it is called emphatically the resurrection of the just, Luke 14:14; and these two are joined together, as belonging one to the other; the children of God, and the children of the resurrection, Luke 20:36.
