1 Corinthians

6: 14And God raised (egeirō) the Lord and will also awaken us by his power.
15: 4and that he was buried, and that he was raised (egeirō) on the third day in accordance with the scriptures,
15: 12Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised (egeirō) from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?
15: 13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised (egeirō);
15: 14and if Christ has not been raised (egeirō), then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain.
15: 15We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised (egeirō) Christ - whom he did not raise (egeirō) if it is true that the dead are not raised (egeirō).
15: 16For if the dead are not raised (egeirō), then Christ has not been raised (egeirō).
15: 17If Christ has not been raised (egeirō), your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.
15: 20But in fact Christ has been raised (egeirō) from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.

15: 35But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised (egeirō)? With what kind of body do they come?"
15: 42So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised (egeirō) is imperishable.
15: 43It is sown in dishonor, it is raised (egeirō) in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised (egeirō) in power.
15: 44It is sown a physical body, it is raised (egeirō) a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.
15: 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised (egeirō) imperishable, and we will be changed.

2 Corinthians

1: 9Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death so that we would rely not on ourselves but on God who raises (egeirō) the dead.

5: 15And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised (egeirō) for them.

4: 25who was handed over to death for our trespasses and was raised (egeirō) for our justification.
6: 4Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised (egeirō) from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
6: 9We know that Christ, being raised (egeirō) from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.
7: 4In the same way, my friends, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised (egeirō) from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.
8: 11If the Spirit of him who raised (egeirō) Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised (egeirō) Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you.
8: 34Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised (egeirō), who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us.
10: 9because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised (egeirō) him from the dead, you will be saved.
13: 11Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake (egeirō) from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers;
