1. Job 4:19

   how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who can be crushed like a moth!

   ›Commentary on Job 4:192 voices

   “Behold, His servants are not stedfast, and in His Angels He found folly: How much more in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which shall be consumed as by the moth? Though the Angelical nature, by being fixed in contemplation of the Creator, remains unchangeable in its own state, yet hereby, that it is a created being, it admits in itself the variableness of change. Now to be changed is to go from one thing into another, and to be without stability in one's self.

   “Eliphaz takes his third argument, to show that adversity comes from sin, from the human condition which he joins to the conclusion of the preceding argument. Thus one argument could be formed from two and he means this when he says, "How much more those …

2. Job 17:14

   and say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

   ›Commentary on Job 17:142 voices

   “Ver. 14. I have said to corruption, Thou art my father, and to the worm, Thou art my mother and my sister. What does this mean, that he said to corruption, Thou art my father; saving that every man descends from an already corrupted origin? and hence it is added, And to the worm, Thou art my mother and my sister; in this way, viz. that we come into this world once from corruption itself, and along with corruption itself.

   “I have said to corruption, thou art my father,....

3. 1 Corinthians 3:16

   Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

   ›Commentary on 1 Corinthians 3:162 voices

   “It is to be observed that, after [Samson had committed] fornication, the holy Scripture no longer speaks of the things happily accomplished by him in connection with the formula, "The Spirit of the Lord came upon him." For thus, according to the holy apostle, the sin of fornication is perpetrated against the body, as involving also sin against the temple of God.

   “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God,....

4. 1 Corinthians 6:3

   Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

   ›Commentary on 1 Corinthians 6:32 voices

   “But when the comparison is challenged with an angel, I am compelled to maintain that the head over all things is the stronger of the two, to whom the angels are ministers, who is destined to be the judge of angels, if he shall stand fast in the law of God-an obedience which he refused at first.

   “Know ye not that we shall judge angels,....

5. 1 Corinthians 6:15

   Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

   ›Commentary on 1 Corinthians 6:152 voices

   “In the body will He raise us, because the body is for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And suitably does he add the question: "Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? " What has the heretic to say? That these members of Christ will not rise again, for they are no longer our own? "For," he says, "ye are bought with a price.

   “Know ye not that your bodies are the members, of Christ,.... The whole persons of God's elect were chosen in Christ, and given to him, and made one with him, their bodies as well as their souls; and both are redeemed by him, and, in union with him, are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones: shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

6. 1 Corinthians 6:19

   Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

   ›Commentary on 1 Corinthians 6:192 voices

   “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost,.... What is said in 1Co 3:16 of the saints in general, is here said of their bodies in particular. The Holy Spirit, in regeneration and sanctification, when he begins the good work of grace on a man, takes possession of his whole person, soul and body, and dwells therein as in his temple. So the Jews (o) call the body of a righteous man משכן, the "habitation" of the Holy Spirit.

   That he who has attained to trust, having put off the former man, ought to regard only celestial and spiritual things, and to give no heed to the world which he has already renounced... Of this same thing in Matthew: "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where He may lay His head." Also in the same place: "Whoso forsaketh not all that he hath, cannot be my disciple."

7. 1 Corinthians 15:19–54

   If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.

   ›Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:19–542 voices

   “Paul says this, not because to hope in Christ is miserable but because Christ has prepared another life for those who hope in him. For this life is liable to sin. The life above is reserved for our reward.

   “If in this life only we have hope in Christ,....

8. 1 Corinthians 15:53

   For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

   ›Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:532 voices

   “For this corruptible ... - It is necessary that a change should take place, either by dying and then being raised, or by being changed without seeing death; for we cannot enter heaven as we are now. Must put on - The word used here (ἐνδύνω endunō ) properly means to go in, to envelope, to put on as a garment; and then to put on any thing; as the soul is, as it were, clothed with, or invested with a body; and here it means, must be endued with, or furnished with.

   “The blossom of the resurrection is immortality and incorruption. What is richer than everlasting rest? What is a source of greater gain and satisfaction than perpetual security? Here is the manifold fruit, the harvest, whereby man's nature grows more vigorous and productive after death.

9. 1 Corinthians 15:54

   When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

   ›Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:542 voices

   “Wherefore also He drove him out of Paradise, and removed him far from the tree of life, not because He envied him the tree of life, as some venture to assert, but because He pitied him, [and did not desire] that he should continue a sinner for ever, nor that the sin which surrounded him should be immortal, and evil interminable and irremediable.

   “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,.... As at the coming of Christ, both the bodies of living saints, and of dead ones being raised, will: and this mortal shall have put on immortality; which will be the case, in the resurrection morn: then shall be brought to pass that saying that is written; then that passage will have its full accomplishment, which stands in Isa 25:8 where it is read, he will swallow up death in victory, or "for ever".

10. 2 Corinthians 5:1

    Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

    ›Commentary on 2 Corinthians 5:12 voices

    “In regard to our bodily nature we must understand that there is not one body which we now use in lowliness and corruption and weakness and a different one which we are to use hereafter in incorruption and power and glory, but that this same body, having cast off the weaknesses of its present existence, will be transformed into a thing of glory and made spiritual. The result is that what was a vessel of dishonor shall itself be purified and become a vessel of honor and a habitation of blessedness.

    “For we know - We who are engaged in the work of the gospel ministry. Paul is giving a reason why he and his fellow-laborers did not become weary and faint in their work. The reason was, that they knew that even if their body should die, they had an inheritance reserved for them in heaven. The expression “we know” is the language of strong and unwavering assurance. They had no doubt on the subject.
