Abstract	:	The difficulties associated with Paul's citation of Gen 2:7b (1 Cor 15:45) and the comment that he attaches to the citation (1 Cor 15:46-49) can be clarified by a comparison of Paul's brief commentary with other ancient treatments of the Genesis verse and other scriptural texts associated with it in ancient interpretation. Paul's choice of Gen 2:7 as a text relevant to the resurrection of the dead is facilitated by the allusion to that verse in 2 Macc 7:23 in an exhortation to martyrs to trust in God to raise the dead. Paul's form of citation, resembling paraphrastic citations in the Damascus Covenant (CD) and other scrolls, is shaped by the interpretation of the Genesis verse in Wisd 15:11. Other ancillary texts figure in Paul's comments on the Genesis passage (vv. 46-49), including Gen 1:26 and 5:3; Dan 7:13-14; and Ezek 1:26. In their historical context Paul's literary allusions can be recognized as reminiscences of the formative instruction that he had offered usd\kappa\alpha\tau\grave\alpha\ \tau\grave\alpha\zeta\ \gamma\rho\alpha\phi\acute\alpha\zetausd in Corinth. In their literary context in 1 Corinthians 15, they function as one element in Paul's attempt to associate hope in the resurrection of the dead with the conversion of the community and so commend it.
