1 CORINTHIANS—NOTE ON 1 Corinthians 15:23 at his coming. When Christ returns, all his people from all time will receive resurrection bodies. Until that time, those who have died exist in heaven as spirits without bodies (see 2 Corinthians 5:8; Hebrews 12:23; Revelation 6:9). The phrase those who belong to Christ shows that the “all” in 1 Corinthians 15:22 does not mean that all people will be saved.
