1 Corinthians 15:35 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? But some man will say - Αλλα ερει τις. It is very likely that the apostle, by τις some, some one, some man, means particularly the false apostle, or teacher at Corinth, who was chief in the opposition to the pure doctrine of the Gospel, and to whom, in this covert way, he often refers.

The second part of the apostle's discourse begins at this verse. What shall be the nature of the resurrection body?

1. The question is stated, 1 Corinthians 15:35.

2. It is answered:

first, by a similitude, 1 Corinthians 15:36-38;

secondly, by an application, 1 Corinthians 15:33-41; and

thirdly, by explication, 1 Corinthians 15:42-50.
