1 Corinthians 15:33-46 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

33. Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”

34. Come to your senses and stop sinning, for some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.

35. But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have when they come? ”

36. Foolish one! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

37. And as for what you sow — you are not sowing the future body, but only a seed, perhaps of wheat or another grain.

38. But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.

39. Not all flesh is the same flesh; there is one flesh for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.

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;

44. sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body.If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

45. So it is written: The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.

46. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual.
