This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Who died
Frequently the resurrection is coupled with the death of Christ by Paul, as 1Th 4:14; Phi 3:10; Col 2:12; Col 3:1-4. Not so here; but the thought of resurrection is supplied in live together with him.
Wake or sleep
Whether we are alive or dead at Christ's appearing. Comp. Rom 14:9. Καθεύδειν in N.T. always literally of sleep, except here, and possibly Eph 5:14. In Mar 5:39; Luk 8:52, it is contrasted with death. In lxx in the sense of death, Psa 87:5; Dan 12:2; 2Sa 7:12.
