Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even in Christ shall all be made alive. Not that all shall be saved, but all will be raised from the dead. Or else the passage means that, as all who were in the first Adam died as the result of Adam’s sin, so all who are in the second Adam, that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. There will, one day, be an...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? This is another most difficult passage, and many meanings have been given to it, but I think the most likely to be correct is this: As soon as a member of the early Christian Church was given up to the lion or to be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? Why were the apostles always subjecting themselves to cruel persecution?
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. He was so hunted about everywhere that there was not a day in whole he felt secure of his life, so he asks, “Why should I endure this if there be no world to come?”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
If after the manner of men I has fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? It is quite possible that Paul was thrown to the lions in the theatre at Ephesus, and that he fought with them, and came off a conqueror. “But why,” says he, “did I try to save my life for future labour and for future suffering if the dead...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? You know the almost endless questions that may be asked about this matter, and you know the snares...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die. Would you take the seed into your hand, and begin to argue, “How can that little seed ever become a flower?” Could you guess, apart from observation, what kind of flower would grow out of such a seed as that? You would make a hundred foolish guesses if you tried it. So is it...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. Every man shall have his own body. There will be differences and peculiarities, even as there are here; and we shall therefore know...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
It is raised in incorruption: What an anticipation for us!
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
It is sown in dishonour; For, with all the honour that we can pay to our departed dear ones, it is a dishonour to them to have to lie encased in a coffin, in the cold clay of the cemetery. 1Co_15:43. It is raised in glory: Oh, the splendor of that resurrection! 1Co_15:43. It is sown in weakness; It is so weak that it cannot get into its own last...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
It is raised in power: it is sown a natural body; A soulish body, a body fitted for the human soul.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
It is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. A body fitted for the new-born spirit which is given in regeneration.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural, and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. Glory be to the name of Christ we belong to him, and already the heavenly light begins to shine upon us, and we are getting ready soon to put on the garments of immortality.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, For some will be here when Christ comes again to this earth.
