οὕτως καὶ ἡ�. The fact is now plainly stated that all shall not possess the same degree of glory in heaven. οὕτως, i.e. as has been before stated. But St Paul goes on to deal less with the fact than with the manner in which the fact is accomplished.

σπείρεται ἐν φθορᾷ. Cf. Romans 8:21; Galatians 6:8; Colossians 2:22; 2 Peter 1:4 for φθορά. And for ἀφθαρσία see Romans 2:7; Ephesians 6:24; 2 Timothy 1:10, and Titus 2:7. The English version in the first and third of these passages renders by immortality, in the second and fourth by sincerity.
