1 Corinthians 15:35-44

35But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?"

36You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

37And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.

38But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.

39For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.

40There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.

41There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

42So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.

43It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
