I have no doubt that Paul's use of the terms shares semantic features with John's use in 1 John 4:2, but I would not say the lexical meaning of the term is any different in these contexts. Paul qualifies what he means in 15:50 as ἡ φθορὰ. Why couldn't John mean Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθότα = EN SARKI TWi FQORWi?
