1 Corinthians 15:35-41

Christ Is Risen, the Dead Will Be Raised, and Death Will Be Destroyed

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

35But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

36You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

37And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.

38But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.

39Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.

40There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.

41The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
