{So is the resurrection of the dead} (hout(9373) kai h(880a)anastasis t(936e) nekr(936e)). Paul now applies his illustrations to his
argument to prove the kind of body we shall have after the
resurrection. He does it by a series of marvellous contrasts that
gather all his points. The earthly and the risen beings differ in
duration, value, power (Wendt). {It is sown} (speiretai). In
death, like the seed ( 37 ). {In incorruption} (en
aphtharsi(8369)). Late word from a privative and phtheir(935c), to
corrupt. In LXX, Plutarch, Philo, late papyrus of a Gnostic
gospel, and quotation from Epicurus. Vulgate _incorruptio_. The
resurrection body has undergone a complete change as compared
with the body of flesh like the plant from the seed. It is
related to it, but it is a different body of glory.
