it is sown. natural body; it is raised. spiritual body. If there is. natural body, there is also. spiritual body.

'natural body' -'A natural body tells you where it is made for. It is suited for life here..Neither of these two adjectives ("natural", "spiritual") tell us of the substantial nature of the body. They don't tell us what the "stuff" of the body consists of.' (McGuiggan p. 202)

'spiritual body' -a body adapted and geared for. spiritual existence.

'If there is..' -'As surely as there is..' (TCNT) Our resurrected body, is just as certain as the bodies that we now inhabit.

ADAM AND CHRIST COMPARED AGAIN:

The connection of this parallel with the previous verse, is that 1 Corinthians 1:45-49 is offered as proof of the assertion found in 1 Corinthians 15:44, 'If there is. natural body, there is also. spiritual body.' Paul now proceeds to prove that last statement.
