1 Corinthians 15:43-45

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁴³ When it is put in the ground, it is not fine. When it rises, it is very fine. When it is put in the ground it has no strength. When it rises it is strong.

⁴⁴ When it is put in the ground it is only a body for this world. When it rises it is a body for the spirit. If there is a body for this world, then there is also a body for the spirit.

⁴⁵ The holy writings say, `The first man, Adam, was of this world! The last Adam [Christ] is a Spirit who gives life.'
