31. I die every day—yes indeed, by my boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord!
32. If according to a human perspective I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what benefit is it to me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
33. Do not be deceived! “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
34. Sober up correctly and stop sinning, for some have no knowledge of God—I say this to your shame.
35. But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what sort of body do they come?”
36. Foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37. And what you sow is not the body which it will become, but you sow the bare seed, whether perhaps of wheat or of some of the rest.
38. But God gives to it a body just as he wishes, and to each one of the seeds its own body.
39. Not all flesh is the same, but there is one flesh of human beings, and another flesh of animals, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish,
40. and heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly bodies is of another kind.
41. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory.
42. Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
43. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
