Discovery Box1 Corinthians 15:33-41
Context15:33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” 1 15:34 Sober up as you should, and stop sinning! For some have no knowledge of God – I say this to your shame!
15:35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” 15:36 Fool! What you sow will not come to life unless it dies. 15:37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare seed 2 – perhaps of wheat or something else. 15:38 But God gives it a body just as he planned, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. 15:39 All flesh is not the same: People have one flesh, animals have another, birds and fish another. 3 15:40 And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. The glory of the heavenly body is one sort and the earthly another. 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory.
[15:33] 1 sn A quotation from the poet Menander, Thais 218, which Paul uses in a proverbial sense.
[15:37] 2 tn Grk “and what you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare seed.”
[15:39] 3 tn Grk “all flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one (flesh) of people, but another flesh of animals and another flesh of birds and another of fish.”
