1 Corinthians 15:36-40 You fool, that which you sow is not quickened, except it die:… I. CHANGE OF FORM — thou sowest not, etc. II. IDENTITY OF BODY — to every seed his own body. III. IDENTITY OF SPECIES — wheat cannot produce tares or tares wheat — neither can the sinner be raised a glorified saint nor the saint a reprobate sinner. IV. DIFFERENCE IN THE DEGREE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE SAME SPECIES — one stalk of wheat is more fairly developed than another, "God giveth," etc. — so also in the resurrection of the dead. (J. Lyth, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:WEB: You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies. |
