1 Corinthians 15:42
Previous Verse
1 Corinthians 15:42
Next Verse

So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

Note 9 at 1 Cor. 15:42: In the same way that all stars are similar but yet unique at the same time (v. 41), so everyone who is resurrected will still have his individuality.

Note 10 at 1 Cor. 15:42: In verses 42-44, Paul uses the words "corruption," "dishonor," "weakness," and "natural" to describe our present physical bodies. In contrast, he uses the words "incorruption," "glory," "power," and "spiritual" to describe our resurrected bodies. Every lack of our present physical bodies will be replaced with the opposing strength in our resurrected bodies.

Note 11 at 1 Cor. 15:42: The word "corruption" in this verse is not speaking of wickedness or moral corruption. It is speaking of the decay of our physical bodies. That's what the Greek word "phthora" that was translated "corruption in this verse means; decay, i.e. ruin. The verses listed in ref. M on this word make it very clear that "corruption" is speaking of the decomposition of our physical bodies in the grave. Our physical bodies are subject to corruption or decay, or resurrected bodies are immortal (i.e. not subject to death and decay).
