1 Corinthians 15:42

It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. ¹ 

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body;

It is the same way for the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies, which die and decay, will be different when they are resurrected, for they will never die.

This image of planting a dead seed and raising a live plant is a mere sketch at best, but perhaps it will help in approaching the mystery of the resurrection body--but only if you keep in mind that when we're raised, we're raised for [good], alive forever!

So is it with the coming back from the dead. It is planted in death; it comes again in life:

So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable.

So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.

It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. ¹ 

¹ tn Grk “it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.” The “it” refers to the body, as v. 44 shows.
