Notes

1 Corinthians 15:42–44

Resurrection bodies will be very different from our mortal bodies, just as plants differ from the seeds they grow from.

1 Corinthians 15:35–58

1 Corinthians 15:1–58

Some church members doubted a future resurrection of the dead. Paul reassures them and addresses their skeptical questions by discussing the nature of a resurrection body.
