Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hóti} introduces the content clause Christos apethanen hyper tōn hamartiōn hēmōn kata tas graphas {Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν κατὰ τὰς γραφάς | Christós apéthanen hypér tōn hamartiôn hēmôn katá tas graphás}, where the fronted subject Christos gains emphasis, and the aorist apethanen depicts His death as a decisive redemptive act on behalf of “our sins.” The preposition kata governs the accusative tas graphas, anchoring the event firmly “in accordance with” the authority of the Scriptures and highlighting the fulfillment of scriptural promise. The structure preserves the priority of the tradition and its rootedness in the written Word while rendering the Greek clauses clearly in English.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:3
For I handed on to you, as of first importance, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures.
