Vers. 42–44.
Now, certainly nothing else is raised than that which is sown; and nothing else is sown than that which decays in the ground; and it is nothing else than the flesh which is decayed in the ground. For this was the substance which God’s decree demolished, “Earth thou art, and to earth shalt thou return;”7685 7685

1 Cor. xv. 44.
Now, although the natural principle of life5648 5648 Anima: we will call it soul in the context.
and the spirit have each a body proper to itself, so that the “natural body” may fairly be taken5649 5649 Possit videri.
to signify the soul,5650 5650 Animam.
and “the spiritual body” the spirit, yet that is no reason for supposing5651 5651 Non ideo.
the apostle to say that the soul is to become spirit in the resurrection, but that the body (which, as being born along with the soul, and as retaining its life by means of the soul,5652 5652 Animam.
admits of being called animal (or natural5653 5653 Animale. The terseness of his argument, by his use of the same radical terms Anima and Animale, is lost in the English. [See Cap. 15 infra. Also, Kaye p. 180. St. Augustine seems to tolerate our author’s views of a corporal spirit in his treatise de Hæresibus.]
) will become spiritual, since it rises through the Spirit to an eternal life. In short, since it is not the soul, but the flesh which is “sown in corruption,” when it turns to decay in the ground, it follows that (after such dissolution) the soul is no longer the natural body, but the flesh, which was the natural body, (is the subject of the future change), forasmuch as of a natural body it is made a spiritual body, as he says further down, “That was not first which is spiritual.”5654 5654

It is all about man, and all about the flesh because about man.
