35

But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

36

[Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

37

And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]:

38

But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

39

All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds.

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 dishonour 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. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

45

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.

46

Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural and afterward that which is spiritual.

47

The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven.

48

As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.

49

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
