And God gives it a body as he would, and to each of the seed its own body. Not all flesh the same flesh: but one truly flesh of men, and another of cattle, and another of fishes, and another of flying things. And celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies: but truly one the glory of the celestial, and another that of the terrestrial. 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 the rising up of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown an animated body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animated body, and there is a spiritual body. So also has been written, The first man Adam was born into a living soul; and the last Adam into a spirit making alive. But the first not spiritual, but animated; then the spiritual. The first man of earth, made of earth: the second man the Lord from heaven. As the made of earth, such also the made of earth: and as the celestial, such also the celestial. And as we have borne the image of the made of earth, we shall also bear the image of the celestial.
