1 Corinthians 15:35–44

³⁵But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come? ³⁶Fool; what thou sowest is not quickened unless it die. ³⁷And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest: ³⁸and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body. ³⁹Every flesh is not the same flesh, but one is of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes. ⁴⁰And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly: ⁴¹one the sun’s glory, and another the moon’s glory, and another the stars’ glory; for star differs from star in glory. ⁴²Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility. ⁴³It is sown in dishonour, 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 one.
