1 Corinthians 15:37

Catholic Public Domain Version

And what you sow is not the body that will be in the future, but a bare grain, such as of wheat, or of some other grain.

See the chapter Copy

If it falls upon seed grain, it shall not defile it.

And he sleeps and he arises, night and day. And the seed germinates and grows, though he does not know it.

How foolish! What you sow cannot be brought back to life, unless it first dies.

For God gives it a body according to his will, and according to each seed's proper body.

But thanks be to God, who always brings triumph to us in Christ Jesus, and who manifests the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place.
