‘xrnvous, Western. K, 37, 47, om. this clause altogether, skipping to πτηνων, hrough homeeoteleuton.

(ἴδιον) ’’. This added clause meets the finer point of the second question of ver. 35; God will find a fit body for man’s redeemed nature, as He does for each of the numberless seeds vivified in the soil. ‘“‘How unintelligent to think, as the Pharisees did, that the same body that was buried must be restored, if there is to be aresurrection! Every wheat-stalk contradicts thee! ’’ (Mr.)
Ver. 39. The rest of the § goes to sustain ver. 38), showing the inexhaustible variety of organic forms in the Divine economy of nature and the fitness of each for the life it clothes. This is manifest, to begin with, in the varied types of animal life: οὐ πᾶσα σὰρξ ἡ αὐτὴ σάρξ, “All flesh is not the same flesh ”—in the zoological realm there is no uniformity, but endless differentiation. (Ed. makes πᾶσα capt predicate—‘ the same flesh is not all flesh,” 1.6., physi- cal assimilation means differentiation— getting out of the sentence a physiologi- cal idea obscure in itself and not very relevant to the context). Instead of men, cattle, birds, fishes, with their hetero- geneous natures, being lodged in the same kind of corporeity, their frame and organs vary with their inner constitution and needs. If God can find a body for beast and fish, in the lower range, no less than for man, why not, in the higher range, for man immortal no less than for man mortal?—xrivos (from κτάοµαι), denoting cattle as beasts of purchase in the first instance, is applied to four-footed beasts at large: cf. Gen. 1. 25 ff., ii. 20.
Ver. 40. The possibility of a future body unimaginably diff. from the presen* is indicated in the contrast suggested by the diff. regions of the two: ‘ Bodies also heavenly there are, and bodies earthly’’, The σὰρξ of νετ. 39 is now dropped, for it belongs only to the σῶμα ἐπίγειον. What does P. mean by his σώματα émovpavia? The previous con- text and the tenor of the argument lead us to think of bodies for celestial inhabi- tants, sc. the angels (Luke xx. 36, Matt. XXVili. 2, etc.), as suitable to their condi- tion as the σώματα ἐπίγεια are for the forms of terrestrial life just enumerated (so Mr., D.W., Al., El., Sm.); moreover σῶμα is never used elsewhere in Bib. Gr., and rarely in cl. Gr., of inorganic bodies. On the other hand, ver. 41 in connexion with ver. 40b strongly suggests the sun, moon, etc., as the ‘‘ heavenly bodies”’ in Paul’s mind (so Bg., Hf., Hn., Ed., Bt., Gd., and most moderns). The former considerations preponderate, esp. when we find P. in wv. 47 ff. (see notes) resum- ing the same contrast in the antithesis between ‘‘the earthy man’”’ and “the heavenly’’. Paul is thinking of the risen Christ whom he had seen, more than of the angels, as supplying the type of the σῶμα ἐπουράνιον; cf. Phil. iii. 20 f. Gm,, Hilgenfeld, Holsten, Everling (Die paul. Angelologie u.s.w., pp. 46 ff.) combine the above interpretations by attributing
