1 Coríntios 15:48

48 Qual o terreno, tais também os terrenos; e, qual o celestial, tais também os celestiais.

1 Coríntios 15:48 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 15:48

As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy
As was Adam's body, so are the bodies of those that descend from him; they are houses of clay, earthly houses of this tabernacle, which rise out of the earth, are maintained by the things of it, and return to it again:

and as is the heavenly, such are,
or will be

they also that are heavenly;
as is the glorious and spiritual body of Christ, the Lord from heaven, as that now is in heaven, and will be when he descends from thence; so will be the bodies of them that are heavenly, that are heaven born souls now, are partakers of the heavenly calling, and whose conversation is in heaven; and who, in the resurrection morn, will have heavenly, spiritual, and glorious bodies, like unto Christ's: so Philo F8 the Jew on those words, "and man became a living soul", has this note;

``there are two kinds of men, for the one is "the heavenly man", and the other is "earthy"; the heavenly man is he, who is made after the image of God, incorruptible, and wholly devoid of earthy substance; the earthy is made of seminal matter, which is called the ground.''

1 Coríntios 15:48 In-Context

46 Mas não é primeiro o espíritual, senão o animal; depois o espiritual.
47 O primeiro homem, sendo da terra, é terreno; o segundo homem é do céu.
48 Qual o terreno, tais também os terrenos; e, qual o celestial, tais também os celestiais.
49 E, assim como trouxemos a imagem do terreno, traremos também a imagem do celestial.
50 Mas digo isto, irmãos, que carne e sangue não podem herdar o reino de Deus; nem a corrupção herda a incorrupção.
