This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
9. εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ κ.τ.λ. To establish this relationship was the object of Christ’s death and resurrection. Note that in dealing with these secondary matters S. Paul bases his argument on this external relation, not on the deeper vital relation ἐν Χριστῷ; cf. S. H.; cf. 1Co 6:20.
ἔζησεν. Came to life—ingressive aorist: clearly of the entrance into the Resurrection life, in which He became κύριος. S. H. Lid.
ἵνα καὶ ν. κ. ζ. Cf. Luk 20:38 : the absence of the article emphasises the state of the persons.
κυριεύσῃ = to establish his lordship over—(ingressive aor.). Is there a reference here to the Descent into Hell? Lid. cf[276] Php 2:10; Eph 4:9. The order ν. κ. ζ. is remarkable, and suggests such a ref. 1Pe 3:18 f., Rom 4:6 f. may be partly dependent on this passage; cf. Rom 10:7. Swete, Ap. Creed, pp. 56 f.
