and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
38
but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39
All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
40
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial is another.
41
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43
it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44
it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [body].
45
So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.
46
Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
47
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
