Bible Commentary for 1 Corinthians 15:36

Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 15:36


15:36 To the inquiry concerning the manner of rising, and the quality of the bodies that rise, the Apostle answers first by a similitude, #1Cor 15:36 |- 42, and then plainly and directly, #1Cor 15:42|,43. That which thou sowest, is not quickened into new life and verdure, except it die - Undergo a dissolution of its parts, a change analogous to death. Thus St. Paul inverts the objection; as if he had said, Death is so far from hindering life, that it necessarily goes before it.



People's Bible Notes for 1 Corinthians 15:36


1Co 15:36 [Thou] fool. The idea is, slow of understanding. Why cannot you learn the lesson nature teaches? That which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die. The grain that thou sowest has to die and be dissolved before it comes forth in a new life. So the body must die and be dissolved.
