36. Foolish person! When you sow a seed, it must die in the ground before it can live and grow.
37. And when you sow it, it does not have the same “body” it will have later. What you sow is only a bare seed, maybe wheat or something else.
38. But God gives it a body that he has planned for it, and God gives each kind of seed its own body.
39. All things made of flesh are not the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds have another, and fish have another.
40. Also there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the beauty of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the beauty of the earthly bodies is another.
