23.93 · Physiological Processes and States · Live, Die
to come back to life, to live again, to be resurrected, resurrection to come back to life after having once died In a number of languages there is a difficulty involved in formulating some expression for ‘resurrection’ or ‘living again,’ since such a phrase may refer to what is technically known as metempsychosis, that is to say, the rebirth of the soul in another existence, a belief which is widely held in a number of areas of south Asia. This problem may be avoided in some languages by speaking of ‘his body will live again’ or ‘his body will come back to life’ or ‘he will be the same person when he lives again.’

ἔγερσις. With Mt 275, the only occurrence of this word in the NT, may be compared the heading of a magic spell in P Leid W414 (ii/iii A.D.) ἔγερσις σώματος νεκροῦ. Nageli (p. 49) refers to a use of the word in the same sense in Apollod. II. δ 124 Wagn. See also Aristeas 160 where τὴν eyepow is contrasted with ὅταν εἰς ὕπνον ἔρχωνται.
