1 Corinthians 15:27-43 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

27. For God has put everything under His feet. But when it says “everything” is put under Him, it is obvious that He who puts everything under Him is the exception.

40. There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is different from that of the earthly ones.

41. There is a splendor of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for one star differs from another star in splendor.

42. So it is with the resurrection of the dead:Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption;

43. sown in dishonor, raised in glory; sown in weakness, raised in power;
