The word **now** does not refer to time here, but introduces his conclusion. If your readers would misunderstand **But now**, you could use a word or phrase that introduces reality in contrast to hypothetical situations.

Paul uses the passive here to focus on **Christ**, who was **raised**, rather than focusing on the one doing the “raising.” If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “God” did it.
