Commentary on the Epistles to the Corinthians John Calvin
Commentary on the Corinthians
seminum proprium corpus.
39. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
39. Non omnis caro, eadem caro: sed alia caro hominum, alia vero cato pecudum, alia volucrum, alia piscium.
40. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
40. Sunt et corpora coelestia, sunt corpora terrestria: quin etiam alia coelestium gloria, alia terrestrium.
41. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
41. Alia gloria solis, alia gloria lunae, alia gloria stellarum: stella a stella differt in gloria:
42. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
42. Sic et resurrectio mortuorum. Seminatur in corruptione, re surgit in incorruptione: 993
43. It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
43. Seminatur in ignominia, resurgit in gloria: seminatur in infirmitate, resurgit in potentia:
44. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
44. Seminatur corpus animale, resurgit corpus spirituale: est corpus animale, est et corpus spirituale.
45. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
45. Quemadmodum et scriptum eat, (Gen 2:7,) Factus est primus homo Adam in animam viventem, ultimus Adam in spiritum vivificantem.
46. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
46. Sed non primum quod spirituale est: sed animale, deinde spirituale. 47. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
47. Primus homo ex terra terrenus, secundus homo, Dominus e coelo. 48. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
48. Qualis terrenus, tales et terreni, et qualis coelestis, tales et coelestes. 49. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
49. Et quemadmodum portavimus imaginem terreni, portabimus et imaginem coelestis.
993The Latin text "Seminatur in corruptione, re surgit in incorruptione:" in the original manuscript was at the beginning of verse 43, I have moved it to match the Vulgate (possible error in the Edinburgh edition.) — fj.
