35. But someone might say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?”
36. Senseless one! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37. And as to what you sow: you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, it might be wheat or some other grain.
38. But Elohim gives it a body as He wishes, and to each seed a body of its own.
39. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds.
40. And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the esteem of the heavenly is truly one, and the esteem of the earthly is another,
41. one esteem of the sun, and another esteem of the moon, and another esteem of the stars – for star differs from star in esteem.
42. So also is the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;
43. it is sown in disrespect, it is raised in esteem; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
44. it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45. And so it has been written, “The first man Aḏam became a living being,” the last Aḏam a life-giving Spirit.
46. The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
47. The first man was of the earth, earthy; the second Man is the Master from heaven.
