Bible Comments

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Ver. 21. Like unto his glorious body] Which is the standard. See Trapp on " 1Co 15:38 " See Trapp on " 1Co 15:44 " Now we may say to our souls as he did to his, O anima, quam deforme hospitium nacta es? Poor soul, what an ill lodging room hast thou gotten! But at the resurrection all shall be mended. Then these vile bodies shall shine as the sun, and be so clear and transparent, that all the veins, humours, nerves, and bowels shall be seen as in a glass, saith Aquinas, that the soul may sally out at every part, and sparkle through the body as the wine through the glass, saith another author. Three glimpses of glory were seen, 1. In Moses' face; 2. In Christ's transfiguration; 3. In Stephen's countenance.
