but God giveth it a body, even as He willed, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is, indeed, one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial 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 a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So also it has been written, "The first man Adam was a living soul"; the last Adam, a life-giving Spirit. And the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The first man is of the earth earthy; the second Man is from Heaven. As was the earthy, such also are the earthy; and as is the Heavenly, such also are the heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the Heavenly.
