[15:35] But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?”
[15:36] You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
[15:37] And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.
[15:38] But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.
[15:39] For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.
[15:40] There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.
[15:41] There 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.
[15:42] So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.
[15:43] It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
[15:44] It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
[15:45] Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
[15:46] But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual.
[15:47] The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.
[15:48] As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.
[15:49] Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.
