1 Corinthians 15:42

Questions Concerning The Resurrection Body

⁴¹ The sun has one [kind] of splendor, and the moon has another [kind], and the stars [still] another. For [even] one star's splendor is different from another's. ⁴² It is the same way with the resurrection of dead people. [A person's body] is buried [only] to decay; it is raised up never to decay again. ⁴³ It is buried in dishonor; it is raised up in splendor. It is buried in weakness; it is raised up in power.
