1 Corinthians 15:37

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

And what you sow is not the body which is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.

See the chapter Copy

And if any part of their carcass falls upon any seed for sowing that is to be sown, it is clean;

and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he knows not how.

You foolish man! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.

But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.
