Notes

1 Corinthians 15:42–44

Resurrection bodies will be very different from our mortal bodies, just as plants differ from the seeds they grow from.

1 Corinthians 15:35–58

Paul talks about what resurrection bodies are like, possibly answering doubts. In the Greco-Roman world, people often believed the soul was immortal, but not that the body could rise again.

1 Corinthians 15:1–58

Some church members doubted a future resurrection of the dead. Paul reassures them and addresses their skeptical questions by discussing the nature of a resurrection body.
