30. And why do we always risk our lives
31. and face death every day? The pride that I have in you because of Christ Jesus our Lord is what makes me say this.
32. What do you think I gained by fighting wild animals in Ephesus? If the dead are not raised to life,“Let's eat and drink.Tomorrow we die.”
33. Don't fool yourselves. Bad friends will destroy you.
34. Be sensible and stop sinning. You should be embarrassed that some people still don't know about God.
35. Some of you have asked, “How will the dead be raised to life? What kind of bodies will they have?”
36. Don't be foolish. A seed must die before it can sprout from the ground.
37. Wheat seeds and all other seeds look different from the sprouts that come up.
38. This is because God gives everything the kind of body he wants it to have.
39. People, animals, birds, and fish are each made of flesh, but none of them are alike.
40. Everything in the heavens has a body, and so does everything on earth. But each one is very different from all the others.
41. The sun isn't like the moon, the moon isn't like the stars, and each star is different.
42. That's how it will be when our bodies are raised to life. These bodies will die, but the bodies that are raised will live for ever.
43. These ugly and weak bodies will become beautiful and strong.
44. As there are physical bodies, there are spiritual bodies. And our physical bodies will be changed into spiritual bodies.
