31. I die every day—yes, as surely as the boast in you, brothers and sisters, which I have in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
32. If, for human reasons, I fought with “wild animals” at Ephesus, what good is that to me? If the dead are not raised, “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
33. Do not be deceived! “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
34. Come to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning! For some have no knowledge of God—I say this to your shame.
35. But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
36. Fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37. As for what you sow—you are not sowing the body that will be, but a bare seed, maybe of wheat or something else.
38. But God gives it a body just as He planned, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.
39. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of humans, another flesh of animals, another of birds, and another of fish.
40. There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one thing while the earthly is another.
41. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
42. So also is the resurrection of the dead: Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption!
43. Sown in dishonor, raised in glory! Sown in weakness, raised in power!
44. Sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body! If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
45. So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.
47. The first man is of the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.
