38
You could never guess what a tomato would look like by looking at a tomato seed. What we plant in the soil and what grows out of it don't look anything alike. The dead body that we bury in the ground and the resurrection body that comes from it will be dramatically different.
38
But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.
1 Corinthians 15:38 In-Context
36
How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37
When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
38
But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.
39
Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another.
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.
