015:031 I protest, brethren, as surely as I glory over you—
which I may justly do in Christ Jesus our Lord—that I die
day by day.
015:032 If from merely human motives I have fought with wild beasts
in Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not rise,
let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we are to die.
015:033 Do not deceive yourselves: "Evil companionships corrupt good morals."
015:034 Wake from this drunken fit; live righteous lives, and cease to sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak thus in order to move you to shame.
015:035 But some one will say, "How can the dead rise?
And with what kind of body do they come back?"
015:036 Foolish man! the seed you yourself sow has no life given to it
unless it first dies;
015:037 and as for what you sow, it is not the plant which is to be that you are sowing, but a bare grain, of wheat (it may be) or of something else, and God gives it a body as He has seen fit,
015:038 and to each kind of seed a body of its own.
015:039 All flesh is not the same: there is human flesh, and flesh of cattle, of birds, and of fishes.
015:040 There are bodies which are celestial and there are bodies which are earthly, but the glory of the celestial ones is one thing, and that of the earthly ones is another.
