Okay, how's this:
The reference to the bodies of the saints being "raised" employs the term "egerthesan," which is not as specific as "anastasis;" it's capable of a variety of meanings including "resurrection" (the NIV runs with this meaning, inserting the words "to life" in the verse) and "to be caused to visibly appear." Then, the reference to "his arising" employs the term "egersin," which is used only here in the New Testament.
