1 Corinthians 15:35 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Some man will say, How, &c.?— If we will allow St. Paul to know what he says, it is plain from his answers, that he understands these words to contain two questions: First, "How comes it to pass, that dead men are raised to life again;—would it not be better they should live on;—why do they die to live again?" Secondly, "With what body shall they return to life?" To both these he distinctly answers, 1. That those who are raised to a heavenly state, shall have new bodies; and next, that it is fit men should die, death being no improper way to the attaining of these new bodies. He shews that there is so plain and common an instance of this, in the sowing of all seeds, that he thinks it a foolish thing to make a difficulty of it; and then proceeds to declare, that as they shall have new bodies, so they shall have better bodies than they had before; namely, spiritual and incorruptible bodies. See Locke on the Human Understanding, b. 2 : 100: 27 and Ward's 48th Dissertation.
