1 Corinthians 15:48 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

As is the earthy - Such as Adam was.

Such are they also ... - Such are all his descendants; all who derive their nature from him. That is, they are frail, corruptible, mortal; they live in an animal body as he did, and like him, they are subject to corruption and decay.

And as is the heavenly - As is he who was from heaven; as is the Lord Jesus now in is glorified body. “Such are they also, etc.” Such will they be also. They will be like him; they will have a body like his. This idea is more fully expressed in Philippians 3:21, “Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body.”

1 Corinthians 15:48

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
