1 Corinthians 15:39 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 15.

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.

42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.

43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
