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

3. The resurrection body 15:35-49Paul next addressed the objection that the resurrection of the body is impossible because when a person dies his or her body decomposes and no one can reassemble it. The Corinthians seem to have wanted to avoid thinking that the material body was essentially good. Hellenistic dualism seems to have influenced their thinking about the human body and, therefore, the resurrection. Dualism is the philosophy, so common in pagan Greek thought, that the body is only the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

(f) The Fact and the Doctrine of the Resurrection of the DeadSome Corinthians disbelieved in the resurrection of the dead—not, apparently, in Christ’s Resurrection, though St. Paul felt this would soon follow, but in their own future resurrection. This occasioned him to write this grand chapter, which has cheered the hearts of so many mourners, read, as the greater part of it is, at the burial of the dead. He first (1 Corinthians 15:1-11) repeats the historical evidence for Christ’s... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Corinthians 15:35

(35) But some man will say, How are the dead raised up?—The proof of the truth of the doctrine of the resurrection is concluded in the last verse. The truth of it is, in the early part of this chapter, maintained—(1) by the historical fact of Christ’s resurrection; (2) by a reductio ad absurdum, showing the consequences logically involved in a denial of it; (3) by an argumentum ad hominem. The former two arguments are still those on which we must rest our belief in the doctrine. The latter is,... read more

What Is the Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1 I. A Gospel of Mercy. It is a Gospel of mercy. There are three points about it. (a) Its efficacy. 'The Gospel which ye have received, and wherein ye stand.' The first Christians received this great message of God's truth as coming not from man. It was not St Paul's Gospel; he merely handed it on. It could not be improved by his own witness. This message the people received, and on the strength and truth of this message they stood. So the Christian today... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:35-50

Chapter 24THE SPIRITUAL BODYTHE proofs of the Resurrection which Paul has adduced are satisfactory. So long as they are clearly before the mind, we find it possible to believe in that great experience which will finally give us possession of the life to come. But after all proof rises doubt irrepressible, owing to the difficulty of understanding the process through which the body passes and the nature of the body that is to be. "Some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:35

15:35 {20} But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?(20) Now that he has proved the resurrection, he demonstrates their doltishness, in that they scoffingly demanded how it could be that the dead could rise again: and if they did rise again, they asked mockingly, what manner of bodies they should have. Therefore he sends these fellows, who seemed to themselves to be marvellously wise and intelligent, to be instructed of poor rude farmers. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

This chapter itself forms a third division of the book, and deals with another most serious matter in Corinth. Some among them denied the resurrection of the dead. But the resurrection of Christ is the very basis of the existence of the Church of God. So the reality of His resurrection is first considered, then its significance as connected with the resurrection of believers, proving beyond doubt that the first is the pattern and assurance of the second. Paul had preached to them the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD They were not only questions of casuistry that disturbed this church, but deeper ones especially that of the resurrection of the dead. We may gather the real nature of this difficulty by the manner of Paul’s treatment of it. He dwells on the fact of Christ’s resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1-11 ), in which he furnished incidentally a definition of the Gospel he preached. This consists of just three counts, Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. The... read more
