So "firstborn" here in both verse 15 and 18 refers to the fact that Jesus was the first to rise from the dead with a glorified, immortal body."
Nope. In verse 15, he is said to be "the firstborn of all creation". In verse 18, he is said to be "the firstborn from the dead".
These are TWO DIFFERENT SENSES of his being "the firstborn". Verse 18 is NOT an explanation of verse 15!
What if v18 gives us insight into what "creation" is in view in this "hymn"? Perhaps the "beginning" or "creation" of the New Covenant and the ushering in of the Kingdom of God.
