Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:36

Theological / Devotional

Fool. Gr. aphron, “senseless one.” The implication in the questions (v. 35) shows that the inquirer speaks without reflection or intelligence.

Which thou sowest. The difficulty propounded in v. 35 might be proposed with regard to the growth of grain, a phenomenon with which all were acquainted, but which caused no comment, nor created any problem in men’s thinking. When a grain of wheat is placed in the ground, it decomposes and dies. But this process is essential to the production of a new plant. If this daily occurrence is readily accepted without question, why should there be any problem about the resurrection of a new body from the old one that decays?
