but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from 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. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body. So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit. But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven. As the earthy man was, such also are the earthy; and as the heavenly man is, such also shall the heavenly be. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
