But someone will say, “How are the dead raised, and with what kind of body do they come?” Ridiculous man, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies; and, whatever it is you sow, you are not sowing the body that is going to come into being, but a naked grain — perhaps of wheat, or of something else; but God gives it a body as he has willed, and to each one of the seeds a body of its own. Not all flesh is the same flesh; rather, indeed, one is that of human beings, another is flesh of beasts, another is flesh of birds, and another is flesh of fishes. Both heavenly bodies and earthly bodies — but the glory of the heavenly is different, while that of the earthly is different again. One glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. Thus also the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in perishability, it is raised in imperishability; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a psychical body, there is also a spiritual. So it has also been written, “The first man Adam came to be a living soul,” and the last Adam a life-making spirit. But not the spiritual first, but rather the psychical, the spiritual thereafter. The first man out of the earth — earthly; the second man out of heaven. As the earthly man, so also those who are earthly; and, as the heavenly, so also those who are heavenly; and, just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly man. And I say this, brothers: that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does perishability inherit imperishability.
