In the context of 1 Corinthians, Paul is addressing the Corinthian church, which was influenced by Greek philosophy that often denied bodily resurrection. This question anticipates skepticism about the resurrection, reflecting a common cultural disbelief in the physical resurrection of the dead.<p><b>“How are the dead raised?</b><br>The question reflects a curiosity or skepticism about the mechanics of resurrection. In Jewish tradition, the resurrection was a well-established belief, particularly among the Pharisees, but it was less accepted in Greco-Roman thought. The question implies a need for understanding the process, which Paul addresses by emphasizing God's power and the transformation involved in resurrection, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/philippians/3-21.htm">Philippians 3:21</a>, where Paul speaks of Christ transforming our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.<p><b>With what kind of body will they come?”</b><br>This part of the question addresses the nature of the resurrected body. In the Greco-Roman world, the idea of a physical resurrection was often ridiculed, as many believed in the immortality of the soul but not the body. Paul later explains in the chapter that the resurrected body will be imperishable, glorious, and spiritual, contrasting it with the natural body. This transformation is a type of Christ's own resurrection, as He is the "firstfruits" of those who have fallen asleep (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-20.htm">1 Corinthians 15:20</a>), indicating that believers will follow in a similar resurrection. The resurrected body is also a fulfillment of prophecy, as seen in <a href="/ezekiel/37.htm">Ezekiel 37</a>, where the vision of dry bones coming to life symbolizes the restoration and resurrection of God's people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul_the_apostle.htm">Paul the Apostle</a></b><br>The author of 1 Corinthians, addressing questions and concerns from the Corinthian church regarding the resurrection of the dead.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/c/corinth.htm">Corinth</a></b><br>A major city in ancient Greece where the church to whom Paul is writing is located.

The latter is, like every argument of that nature, only of force <span class= "ital">to</span> those to whom it was actually addressed. The Apostle in this verse turns aside to another line of thought. He assumes that his previous arguments are conclusive; there still remain, however, difficulties which will suggest themselves. The difficulty is expressed in two questions, the second being an enlargement of the first--a more definite indication of where the suggested difficulty lies. "How are the dead raised up"--that is, not by what power? but in what manner? as is further explained by the next question, "In what body do they come?"<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_corinthians/15.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 35-49.</span> - <span class="accented">Material objections answered.</span> <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 35.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">But some man will say.</span> The objection is that of some philosophical materialist. The resurrection of the <span class="accented">body</span> was a difficulty alike to Sadducees and Gentiles. St. Paul meets this difficulty by natural analogies, which are intended to show that the resurrection body, though identical with the mortal body so far as the preservation of personal identity is concerned, is yet a glorified body, so that the objections urged on the ground that it is impossible to preserve the same material particles which have passed into dust, are beside the mark. St. Paul gives no sanction to the coarse physical conceptions of the resurrection which described the human being as rising (to use the words of the Christian poet Prudentius) "with every tooth and every nail." <span class="cmt_word">How are</span> <span class="cmt_word">the dead raised up?</span> This question is one which, of course, admits of no answer. <span class="cmt_word">And with what body do they come?</span> literally, <span class="accented">with what kind of body?</span> St. Paul, while he only answers the question indirectly and <span class="accented">by analogy</span>, implies that the resurrection body is the same body, not so much by way of material identity as of glorified individuality. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_corinthians/15-35.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">But</span><br /><span class="grk">Ἀλλὰ</span> <span class="translit">(Alla)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_235.htm">Strong's 235: </a> </span><span class="str2">But, except, however.
