1 Corinthians15:42
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead : it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption .
That is, so shall it be, as to the bodies of the Saints, in the Resurrection. The same bodies of the Saints shall rise, though with qualities, and in a condition much different from what they were when they fell; as the same grain of Wheat shooteth up, though with another body; and as there is a difference betwixt celestial and terrestrial Bodies, and betwixt celestial Bodies themselves: so there will be a difference betwixt the bodies of the Saints, now that they are only of the Earth earthly, from what they shall be in the Resurrection; which difference he openeth in several particulars.
It is sown, that is, it dyeth, and is buried in such a state, that it is subject to putrefaction; but when it shall be again raised from the dead, it shall be subject to no putrefaction or corruption: So v. 52. The dead shall be raised incorruptible.
