The Corinthian concept of death differed from the Pauline concept of death. There were three different ways that death and life after death was portrayed.

The first, which was most common in the Roman world, was that death was the end of life. After death you would cease to exist.

The second was a Greek concept of soul. In this the soul or spirit was unattached to the human body. Therefor after you died you went on existing in a disembodied form. 

The third is now the most commonly held Christian one. This is the doctrine of the bodily resurrection. In this, the body is ultimately resurrected at the end of human existence and ascends into the afterlife.
