1 Corintios 15:48

48 Como es el terrenal, así son también los que son terrenales; y como es el celestial, así son también los que son celestiales.

1 Corintios 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 Corintios 15:48 In-Context

46 Sin embargo, el espiritual no es primero, sino el natural; luego el espiritual.
47 El primer hombre es de la tierra, terrenal; el segundo hombre es del cielo.
48 Como es el terrenal, así son también los que son terrenales; y como es el celestial, así son también los que son celestiales.
49 Y tal como hemos traído la imagen del terrenal, traeremos también la imagen del celestial.
50 Y esto digo, hermanos: que la carne y la sangre no pueden heredar el reino de Dios; ni lo que se corrompe hereda lo incorruptible.
