1 Corinthians 15:35-47
Process-sow the seed, dies, come to life (vs 36)
Different types of flesh-men, animals, birds, fish (vs 38-
Different bodies: heavenly bodies, earthly bodies (vs 40).
Different splendour: earthly bodies, heavenly bodies-stars, moon.
The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable (vs 42).
1 Corinthians 15:35-47
[35]Someone will ask, “How can the dead be raised to life? What kind of body will they have?”
[36]You fool! When you sow a seed in the ground, it does not sprout to life unless it dies.
[37]And what you sow is a bare seed, perhaps a grain of wheat or some other grain, not the full-bodied plant that will later grow up.
[38]God provides that seed with the body he wishes; he gives each seed its own proper body.
[39]And the flesh of living beings is not all the same kind of flesh; human beings have one kind of flesh, animals another, birds another, and fish another.
[40]And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; the beauty that belongs to heavenly bodies is different from the beauty that belongs to earthly bodies.
[41]The sun has its own beauty, the moon another beauty, and the stars a different beauty; and even among stars there are different kinds of beauty.
[42]This is how it will be when the dead are raised to life. When the body is buried, it is mortal; when raised, it will be immortal.
[43]When buried, it is ugly and weak; when raised, it will be beautiful and strong.
[44]When buried, it is a physical body; when raised, it will be a spiritual body. There is, of course, a physical body, so there has to be a spiritual body.
[45]For the scripture says, “The first man, Adam, was created a living being”; but the last Adam is the life-giving Spirit.
[46]It is not the spiritual that comes first, but the physical, and then the spiritual.
[47]The first Adam, made of earth, came from the earth; the second Adam came from heaven.
