But God gives it what body he pleases, and to each kind of seed its own body. All flesh is not the same flesh; there is human flesh, another of fishes of animals, another of birds, another of fishes. There are both celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial; but the splendor of the celestial is one thing, and the splendor of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. So it is in the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, It is raised in incorruption; Sown in weakness, It is raised in power; The body sown is animal The body is raised is spiritual. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual body. Thus it is written. The first man, Adam, became a living being, the last Adam, a life-giving Spirit. Now it is not the spiritual which is first, but the animal, and then the spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthly; the second Man is of heaven. Like him who was of earth, are the earthy; and like Him who is of heaven, are the heavenly; As we have borne the likeness of him who was of earth, so also let us bear the likeness of Him who is of heaven.
