The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:35-50

Objections to the resurrection; replies thereto; conclusions involved. How far has St. Paul come on the path he has been treading? Beginning with the "many infallible proofs" of the forty days, and adding the appearance of the Lord Jesus to him, he had convicted those of an absurdity who denied a general resurrection. On various grounds, the view they held was incredible. The moral consequences of their belief were set forth. True logic and pure morality condemned their departure from that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:41

There is one glory of the sun. "Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun" ( Matthew 13:43 ). The point of the illustration is the difference between the earthly and the resurrection body; not the supposed differences between the saints themselves in glory. This is not a question under consideration, and St. Paul, as we have seen, is not in the habit of mixing up half a dozen different questions in the same immediate argument. St. Augustine says of the saints, "Their splendour is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:41

Diversity in the heavenly inhabitants. "One star differeth from another star in glory." The idea of Paul unquestionably is that there is as great a variety amongst redeemed men in the celestial world as there is in the orbs of heaven, that saint differs from saint as star from star in the midnight vault. We offer three remarks on this subject. Such a variety is— I. A FACT WELL SUSTAINED . 1. It is sustained by all analogy. Variety reigns through every part of nature, not... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:41

There is one glory of the sun ... - The sun has one degree of splendor, and the moon another, and so also the stars. They differ from each other in magnitude, in brightness, in beauty. The idea in this verse differs from that in the former. In that 1 Corinthians 15:40 Paul says, that there was a difference between the different classes of bodies; between those in heaven and those on earth. He here says, that in the former class, in the heavenly bodies themselves, there was a difference. They... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 15:39-41

1 Corinthians 15:39-41 . All flesh, &c. As if he had said, There is an immense variety in the works of God, even in those which fall under the inspection of our senses, feeble and limited as they are, while we dwell in flesh and blood. For we see even earthy bodies differ from earthy, and heavenly bodies from heavenly. What wonder then if heavenly bodies differ from earthy? or the bodies which rise from those that lie in the grave? “As in the preceding verse,” says the author last... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:35-58

The resurrection body (15:35-58)Some people mocked the idea of the resurrection by asking how could bodies that have decayed in the earth be raised to life again. Paul answers with an illustration. A seed dies when it is put in the ground, but this is part of the process of bringing forth new life in the form of a plant that grows up out of the ground. What grows up is different from what was buried, but in a sense it is the same thing. It is dry and dead looking when put in the ground, but... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:41-42

1 Corinthians 15:41-42. There is one glory of the sun, &c.— Some would connect these two verses in the following manner: There is one glory of the sun, &c.—For one star differeth from another star, 1 Corinthians 15:42. So also in glory is the resurrection of the dead. But the clause, So also is the resurrection of the dead, should rather conclude the 41st verse. As if the Apostle had said, "Another kind of glory shall appear than human nature has known in its purest state, in any beauty... read more

41. one glory of . . . sun . . . another . . . of . . . moon—The analogy is not to prove different degrees of glory among the blessed (whether this may be, or not, indirectly hinted at), but this: As the various fountains of light, which is so similar in its aspect and properties, differ (the sun from the moon, and the moon from the stars; and even one star from another star, though all seem so much alike); so there is nothing unreasonable in the doctrine that our present bodies differ from our... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 15:35-44

Analogies from nature 15:35-44A key word in this section of Paul’s argument is "body" (Gr. soma), which occurs 10 times compared to no times in the first 34 verses. The apostle proceeded to offer two sets of analogies (seeds, 1 Corinthians 15:36-38; and types of bodies, 1 Corinthians 15:39-41) that he then applied to the resurrection of the dead (1 Corinthians 15:42-44). read more
