31. Daily I die, by means of your boasting, brothers: you whom I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32. If, according to man, I fought with the beasts at Ephesus, how would that benefit me, if the dead do not rise again? "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die."
33. Do not be led astray. Evil communication corrupts good morals.
34. Be vigilant, you just ones, and do not be willing to sin. For certain persons have an ignorance of God. I say this to you with respect.
35. But someone may say, "How do the dead rise again?" or, "What type of body do they return with?"
36. How foolish! What you sow cannot be brought back to life, unless it first dies.
37. And what you sow is not the body that will be in the future, but a bare grain, such as of wheat, or of some other grain.
38. For God gives it a body according to his will, and according to each seed's proper body.
39. Not all flesh is the same flesh. But one is indeed of men, another truly is of beasts, another is of birds, and another is of fish.
40. Also, there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But while the one, certainly, has the glory of heaven, the other has the glory of earth.
