but God giveth it a body as he pleaseth, and to each of the seeds its peculiar body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, and another flesh of cattle, and another of fishes, and another of birds. Also there are 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 differeth 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 dishonour; 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. And so it is written, There was a first man Adam a living soul; a last Adam a quickening spirit. But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man was of the earth, earthly; the second man was the Lord from heaven. As is the earthly, so are they also that are earthly: and as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
