Bible verse
And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
1 Corinthians 15:37 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 15.
33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
36 You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.
38 But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
39 Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.
41 The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
