Sermons citing 1 Corinthians 15:35–49

^15:37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.

^15:38 But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.

^15:39 Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.

^15:40 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.

^15:41 The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

^15:42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.

^15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

^15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

^15:45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

^15:46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.

^15:47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.

^15:48 As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.

^15:49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
