1Cor 15:42-44 | PNT | STEP | It is sown in corruption . Planted in burial in corruption. It goes to decay. It is raised in incorruption . With a new body suited to the new condition of existence, which is incorruptible; cannot decay.

1 Corinthians 15:42-44

It is sown in corruption. Planted in burial in corruption. It goes to decay.

It is raised in incorruption. With a new body suited to the new condition of existence, which is incorruptible; cannot decay. Sown in dishonour. The dead body is repulsive, becomes offensive, and we bury it out of sight.

Raised in glory. Has a glorious beauty.

Sown in weakness. All its powers exhausted.

Raised in power. Endowed with heavenly energy. Sown a natural body. A fleshly body with animal life.

Raised a spiritual body. A body whose life principle is the spirit. Not a fleshly body, but a spiritual existence. We cannot comprehend the nature of this existence, but we can know that it is not a body of flesh, bones, and blood; perhaps not more material than the forms of the angels. See 1Co 15:50.
