1 Corinthians 15:36-44

36Fool! What you sow will not come to life unless it dies.

37And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare seed – perhaps of wheat or something else.

38But God gives it a body just as he planned, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.

39All flesh is not the same: People have one flesh, animals have another, birds and fish another.

40And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. The glory of the heavenly body is one sort and the earthly 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.

42It is the same 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.
