All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
Ver. 39. All flesh is not the same] This is another answer to the epicure, who might haply reply, and say, If man's flesh, when rotted, shall revive, why not likewise the flesh of other creatures? The apostle answereth, "All flesh is not the same," &c. Man's flesh only is informed by a reasonable and immortal soul, not so the flesh of other creatures: and hence the difference.
