Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 15:36

36 Thou fool , that which thou sowest is not quickned, except it die .

He saith not, thou fool in anger, (which is that using of this term which our Saviour, Matt. 5.22. saith, brings a man under the gift of Hell fire) but in the way of a grave and authoritative reproof; calling them Fools for their want of a due understanding of the things and ways of God.

He lets them know, that they might as well ask, how the grain of Wheat, which they ordinarily sowed in their field, did rise again? For that grain also rotteth under the clods of the earth, under which it is buried, before it again riseth.
