but God gives it a body as he pleases, and to each of the grains its own body. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes. And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and of the earthly 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 destruction, it is raised in indestructibleness; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. And thus it is written; The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam is a life-giving spirit. But the spiritual was not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, earthly, the second man is from heaven. Like the earthly, such also are the earthly; and like the heavenly, such also are the heavenly; and as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, a first fruit of those that have slept.
