but God giveth it a body, as he willed, and to every seed its own body. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes. There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual body. Thus is it also written: "The first man Adam became a living soul;" the last Adam a lifegiving spirit. But the spiritual is not first, but the animal; and afterward the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. As was the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly; and as we bore the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
