1 Corinthians 15:36

New Century Version

Foolish person! When you sow a seed, it must die in the ground before it can live and grow.

See the chapter Copy

Even if its roots grow old in the ground, and its stump dies in the dirt,

You foolish people! The same one who made what is outside also made what is inside.

“But God said to him, ‘Foolish man! Tonight your life will be taken from you. So who will get those things you have prepared for yourself?’

Then Jesus said to them, “You are foolish and slow to believe everything the prophets said.

I tell you the truth, a grain of wheat must fall to the ground and die to make many seeds. But if it never dies, it remains only a single seed.

They said they were wise, but they became fools.

And when you sow it, it does not have the same “body” it will have later. What you sow is only a bare seed, maybe wheat or something else.

So be very careful how you live. Do not live like those who are not wise, but live wisely.

You foolish person! Must you be shown that faith that does nothing is worth nothing?
