Commentaries:
We probably do not consider seeds as having bodies, but in Paul's analogy, they do.
John W. Ritenbaugh
Image and Likeness of God (Part One)
When a person sows a seed, a seed does not pop right back out of the ground. What comes out of the ground—a living plant—is different from what is put into it. This becomes the illustration to describe the resurrection from the dead: What goes into the coffin—or into the ground—is not what comes out.
John W. Ritenbaugh
The Covenants, Grace, and Law (Part Thirteen)
Paul says a change will take place, and he refers again to what comes out of the grave being a body—a spirit body.
