31. I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32. If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
33. Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”
34. Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
35. But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?”
36. Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37. And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain.
38. But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.
39. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
40. There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
