1 Corinthians 15:41
Compare all
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind1 of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.  
40 There are also1 celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.  
41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
42 aSo also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.  
43 aIt is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.  
44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, a“The first man Adam became a living being.” bThe last Adam became ca life-giving spirit.  
46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
47 aThe first man was of the earth, bmade of dust; the second Man is2 the Lord cfrom heaven.  
48 As was the1 man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; aand as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.  
49 And aas we have borne the image of the man of dust, bwe shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

What Does 1 Corinthians 15:41 Mean?



1 Corinthians 15:41

All things in creation have bodies designed for their purpose in creation. And though there are similarities in design, they are different because of function. Notice how often the word "body" appears in this context, and within its purview, the cherubim, seraphim, and angels are included.
