1 Corinthians 6:13

13. Meat… belly An instance of the above mentioned correspondence or correlation between the internal appetite and the external object. Food and the stomach were made for each other.

God shall destroy This correlation between appetite and supply, the stomach and the food, though divinely established, is transient. Death will demolish it; and in the reorganization at the resurrection it will be omitted from the glorified body.

Body… fornication If there are correlations there are also repugnances. The stomach and the due food are rightly correlated; the body and the harlot are fearfully opposite and repugnant.

For the Lord The true transcendent, spiritual, eternal correlation is between the sanctified body and the Lord.

Lord for the body The correlation between the appetite and the food is earthly and transient; the correlation between our body and the Lord is heavenly and eternal, being, as shown in 1 Corinthians 6:14, carried up into the resurrection. It springs from the fact that our glorious Lord will glorify our bodies. Here, as in 1 Corinthians 15:0, Paul bases our hope of a future life, not distinctly on the immortality of the soul, but upon the resurrection through Christ.
