It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:44 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
If, however, you remove the body from the resurrection which you submitted to the dissolution, what becomes of the diversity in the issue? Likewise, "although it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.".
Must be understood in a preceding passage: "That which is sown is the natural body, and that which rises again is the spiritual body; because that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural: since the first Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam a quickening spirit."
