35 Of course somebody will ask, "How exactly are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have?" 36 What a foolish question! What you sow doesn’t sprout into life unless it dies. 37 When you sow, you don’t sow the plant it will grow into, just the bare seed, whether wheat or whatever you’re planting. 38 God makes the plant grow into the form he has chosen, and different seeds produce different plants with different forms.
42 It’s the same with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in decay; it is raised to last forever. 43 It is sown in shame; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 44 It is sown as a natural body; it is raised as a spiritual body. Just as there are natural bodies there are spiritual bodies.
