20 of 141
  1. 1 Corinthians 13:12
    But when we begin to have a spiritual body as we are promised in the resurrection, let us see it even in the body, either by an intellectual vision or in some miraculous manner, since the grace of the spiritual body is indescribable. We shall then see it according to our capacity, without limitations of space, not larger in one part and smaller in another, since it is not a body, and it is wholly present everywhere.

    LETTER 120, TO CONSENTIUS

  2. 1 Corinthians 14:14
    For he speaks thus, when that which is said is not understood, because it cannot even be uttered, unless the images of corporeal sounds precede the oral sounds by the thought of the spirit.

    ON THE TRINITY 14.16

  3. 1 Corinthians 14:40
    Those who make dissensions and disturbances in the church are the ones who seem to be what they are not. Letter , To Euodius.

  4. 1 Corinthians 15:9
    The Enemy is more completely vanquished in the case of a man over whom he holds fuller sway.

    Confessions 8.4

  5. 1 Corinthians 15:10
    Gladly and with the eyes of faith do all in the City of God look up to this great man, Paul, this athlete of Christ, who was anointed by Christ and instructed by him. With him he was nailed to the cross, and through him made glorious. This man was made a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men. He lawfully carried on a great conflict in the theater of this world and strained forward to the prize of his heavenly calling.

    City of God 14.9

  6. 1 Corinthians 15:10
    Paul did not labor in order to receive grace, but he received grace so that he might labor.

    PROCEEDINGS OF PELAGIUS 14.36

  7. 1 Corinthians 15:10
    How, then, is God’s commandment accomplished, even with difficulty, without his help, since if the Lord does not build, the builder is said to have labored in vain.

    LETTER 186, FROM ALYPIUS AND AUGUSTINE TO PAULINUS

  8. 1 Corinthians 15:12
    When the apostle says to the Corinthians, “How can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?” he shows plainly that not all of them were claiming this but that some were, and that it is clear they were not outside but among them… If we had not read in the same letter that “the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you so that nothing is wanting to you in any grace,” we might otherwise have concluded that all the Corinthians were carnalminded and sensual, not discerning the Spirit of God, “quarrelsome, envious, walking according to man.” Letter , To Vincent.

  9. 1 Corinthians 15:15
    If a lie directed against the temporal life of another is detestable, how much more so is one prejudicial to his eternal life. Such is every lie voiced in the teaching of religion. On that account, the apostle terms it false witness if anyone lies about Christ, even in what might seem to pertain to his praise.

    On Lying 13

  10. 1 Corinthians 15:22
    We commonly say that all enter a certain house through one door, not because all humanity enters that house but because no one enters except through that door. It is in this sense that as all die in Adam so do all those who live live in Christ.… Aside from the one Mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus, there is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved.

    AGAINST JULIAN 24

  11. 1 Corinthians 15:22
    This does not mean that all who die in Adam will be members of Christ, since the majority will be punished in eternity by a second death. The apostle uses the word all in both clauses because as no one dies in a natural body except in Adam, so no one is made to live again in a spiritual body, except in Christ.

    City of God 13.23

  12. 1 Corinthians 15:22
    No human enters into death except through Adam and no one into eternal life except through Christ. This is the meaning of that repeated phrase all, because as all men belong to Adam through their first or carnal birth, so all men who belong to Christ come to the second or spiritual birth. Therefore he says “all” in both places because as all who die die only in Adam, so all who will be made alive will not be made alive except in Christ.

    LETTER 167, To Jerome 21

  13. 1 Corinthians 15:22
    Notice how he emphasizes “one” and “one,” that is Adam and Christ, the former for condemnation, the latter for justification.… Obviously he is speaking of the resurrection of the just where there is life eternal, not of the resurrection of the wicked where there will be eternal death. Those who “shall be made alive” are contrasted with the others who will be damned.

    LETTER 157, TO HILARIUS

  14. 1 Corinthians 15:22
    Man indeed brought death to himself and to the Son of Man. But the Son of Man, by dying and rising again, brought life to man.

    LETTER 140, TO HONORATUS 9

  15. 1 Corinthians 15:24
    They that have done well will go to live with the angels of God; they that have done evil, to be tormented with the devil and his angels. And the form of a servant will pass away. For to this end He had manifested Himself, that He might execute judgment. After the judgment, He shall go hence, will lead with Him the body of which He is the head, and deliver up the kingdom of God. Then will openly be seen that form of God which could not be seen by the wicked, to whose vision the form of a servant must be shown.

    Tractates on John 19

  16. 1 Corinthians 15:25
    He reigns forever. However, in respect to the war waged under him against the devil, this conflict will obviously continue “until he has put all his enemies under his feet.” But afterward there will be no conflict, since we shall enjoy an everlasting peace.

    QUESTIONS 69.8

  17. 1 Corinthians 15:25
    It is necessary for Christ’s kingdom to be manifested to such a degree until all his enemies confess that he does reign.… That is, the apostle says, it is necessary for him to make his reign so clearly evident until his enemies dare not at all deny that Christ reigns.

    QUESTIONS 69.5

  18. 1 Corinthians 15:26
    In this house God’s people shall everlastingly dwell with their God and in their God, and God with his people and in his people, God filling his people, his people filled with God, so that “God may be all in all”—the very same God being their prize in peace who was their strength in battle.

    City of God 17.12

  19. 1 Corinthians 15:26
    It is one thing to fight well, which is the case now when the struggle of death is resisted. It is something else not to have an adversary, which will be the case when death “our last enemy” is destroyed.

    On Continence 3.6

  20. 1 Corinthians 15:26
    The new life begins now by faith and is carried on by hope, but then will come the time when death shall be swallowed up in victory, when that “enemy, death, shall be destroyed last,” when we shall be changed and become like the angels.… We have now mastered fear by faith, but then we shall have the mastery in love by vision.
