It may be a grain of wheat or something else. 38 But God gives it the [kind of] body He wants [it to have], so each seed gets its own plant. 39 All flesh is not the same [Note: The word "flesh" here refers to the material composition of matter, and in no way suggests anything sinful, as it does in many other places in Paul's writings]. But mankind has one [kind of] flesh; animals have another kind; birds have another; and fish [still] another.
