Verse 35
But some will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
This is more than a diatribe which frequently marked Paul's style; it is a conscious answer directed to allegations and questions actually being pressed at Corinth. Of course, it is no objection to the hope of a resurrection that people are not able to explain it; and in conscience it must be admitted that Paul did not explain it in this great passage. He did, however, prove that it is no more marvelous than many other things, some known and some unknown to people. See discussion of "How Can These Things Be?" in my Commentary on John, pp. 89-90.
