But someone will ask, "How can the dead rise? With what kind of body do they come back?" You foolish man! the seed that you sow never comes to life unless it dies first; and what you sow does not have the body that it is going to have, but is a naked grain, of wheat (it may be) or something else; read more.
but God gives it just the body He sees fit, even each kind of seed its own body. Every kind of flesh is different. One kind belongs to men, another to cattle, another to birds, another to fish. There are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another. One kind of splendor belongs to the sun, another to the moon, and another to the stars; yes, one star differs from another in splendor. It is just like this with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in decay, it is raised without decay; it is sown in humiliation, it is raised in splendor; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in strength; it is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is a spiritual body too. This is the way the Scripture puts it too, "The first man Adam became a living creature." The last Adam has become a life-giving Spirit. But it is not the spiritual that comes first; it is the physical, and then the spiritual. The first man was made of the dust of the earth; the second Man is from heaven. Now those who are made of the dust are just like him who was first made of dust, and those who are heavenly are like Him who is from heaven, and as we have reflected the likeness of him who was made of dust, let us also reflect the likeness of the Man from heaven.

For if the dead are never raised, Christ has not been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is a mere delusion; you are still under the penalty of your sins. Yes, even those who have fallen asleep, though in union with Christ, have perished. If for this life only we Christians have set our hopes on Christ, we are the most pitiable people in the world. But in reality Christ has been raised from the dead, the first to be raised of those who have fallen asleep.
