1 Corinthians 15:36

Modern King James Version

Foolish one! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

See the chapter Copy

Though its root becomes old in the earth, and its stump dies in the dust,

Fools! Did not He who made the outside also make the inside?

But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul shall be required of you, then whose shall be those things which you have prepared?

And He said to them, O fools and slow of heart to believe all things that the prophets spoke!

Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.

Professing to be wise, they became fools

And what you sow, you do not sow the body that is going to be, but a bare grain (perhaps of wheat or of some of the rest).

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
