31. I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32. If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me if the dead do not rise? “Let us eat and drink,for tomorrow we die.”
33. Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
34. Awake to righteousness and do not sin, for some do not have the knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35. But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? With what body do they come?”
36. You fool! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37. When you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.
38. Then God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.
39. All flesh is not the same flesh. There is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fish, and another of birds.
40. There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies. The glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars. One star differs from another star in glory.
42. So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
43. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
44. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45. So it is written, “The first man Adam was made a living soul.” The last Adam was made a life-giving spirit.
46. However, that which is spiritual is not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
