1 Corinthians 15:35-50

35But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”

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

37As for what you sow—you are not sowing the body that will be, but a bare seed, maybe 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 flesh, but there is one flesh of humans, another flesh of animals, another of birds, and another of fish.

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

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

42So also is the resurrection of the dead: Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption!

43Sown in dishonor, raised in glory! Sown in weakness, raised in power!

44Sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body! If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

45So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

46However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

47The first man is of the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.

48Like the one made of dust, so also are those made of dust; and like the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.

49And just as we have borne the image of the one made from dust, so also shall we bear the image of the One from heaven.

50Now I say this, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and what decays cannot inherit what does not decay.
