15:36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
15:37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
15:38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.
15:39 All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another.
15:40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.
15:41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
15:42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;
15:43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
15:44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
15:45 So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being" ; the last Adam, a lifegiving spirit.
15:46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.
15:47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
15:48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.
15:49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.
