Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:37

37. Not… body that shall be The planter does not sow it a plant and then have it come up a plant. But a seed is sown and a plant is grown. Just so you bury a putrid corpse, and it comes forth an angel-like body. But to the apostle’s legitimate conception the new plant is but a transfiguration of the old seed, and the new body is but a molecular rearrangement of the old corpse. The old corpse is the primitive material out of which the new body is made; just as in the change of 1... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:38

38. But God giveth it And it was just because the Gnostical objector had a semi-pagan ignorance of God, (note on 1 Corinthians 15:34,) that he could not realize that God can reorganize old matter in new glory. Pleased him For the laws of the resurrection, like the laws of nature, are a mode of the divine volition. The new body is produced by God’s power, and just as he wills. To every (kind of) seed his own body And so God may modify the resurrection body so as to destroy the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:39-41

39-41. As the necessary corruptness of all matter, and therefore the necessary corruptness of all bodies, here or hereafter, is the ground assumption of the Gnostical objector against the possibility of the resurrection, Paul now enlarges on the varieties of body, and the various glories which material bodies are made by God to assume. These are all to illustrate the difference between the dying body and the resurrection body. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:40

40. Celestial… terrestrial Celestial bodies might be understood of the stars, or, as they are called, “the heavenly bodies,” but there hardly appear to be any earthly bodies to correspond with them. Hence, very plausibly, they are interpreted by the best modern commentators as angelic bodies and human bodies. This would assume that an angel possesses, or at least assumes whenever he appears to human vision, a spiritual body, 1 Corinthians 15:44, yet none the less a subtilely... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:41

41. Glory Visible splendour. The splendours of the luminaries differ in intensity, magnitude, and colour. Against the doctrine of a resurrection it is argued that our bodies are now in a continual process of change; so that, even here, our very material sameness is not a literal, but a successional and historical one. Yet, we reply, this molecular succession is, in fact, now most carefully maintained unbroken; so that the historical continuity and sameness can be traced and sworn to. The... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:42

6. With these differences in various bodies, the differences between the buried and risen bodies correspond, 1 Corinthians 15:42-50. 42. So also Similar to the difference in these contrasted classes of objects in nature is the difference between the buried and the resurrection body. The words thrice produced sown, sown, sown can mean nothing but buried, buried, buried in the grave. And raised, raised, raised, can mean nothing but raised from the grave. And what is or can be raised ... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:43

43. Dishonour Both in life and in death the mortal body has parts, conditions, operations, and failures that render it a disgust to the contemplation. In death, decay and putrefaction render it unendurable to its fellows. “When the soul departs,” says Xenophon, “men carry out the body of the dearest friend in the quickest way, and put it out of sight.” Glory Phenomenal properties that attract the wonder and admiration of the beholder. Weakness With strength of body to effect little;... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:44

44. Natural body… spiritual body The word natural, to the English reader, entirely breaks the thread of the apostle’s thought. If we assume a difference between soul and spirit, and coin the word soulical as the antithesis of spiritual, we present his exact idea, and the connexion with the word soul, 1 Corinthians 15:45, will be immediately made. The Greek word ψυχη , psyche soul or life when used as antithetical to πνευμα , pneuma spirit signifies that animating, formative,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:45

45. So In accordance with this distinction between the soulical and the spiritual, it is written in Genesis 2:7. Was made a living soul Paul quotes the words of the Septuagint, which, like those of the Hebrew, are literally rendered became unto, or into, a living soul. From these words, as Dr. Poor truly says, no argument for immortality could be drawn, for our English translation wrongly conceals that in Genesis 1:20-21; Genesis 1:24, the words severally rendered creature that hath... read more
