This is a lesson primarily for the patrons of Aphrodite’s prostitutes, for those who sought healing from Asclepius, and for those who were tempted to revert to Judaism. The risen body is a body of Spirit, and in order to rise from the dead the Corinthians have to eschew their natural impulses and live as spiritual persons, remaining firm in the face of all such temptations. |
