          "But someone may ask, 'How are the dead
          raised? With what kind of body will they
          come?' How foolish! What you sow does not
          come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you
          do not plant the body that will be, but just a
          seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
          But God gives it a body as he has determined,
          and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.
          All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of
          flesh, animals have another, birds another and
          fish another. There are also heavenly bodies
          and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor
          of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the
          splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The
          sun has one kind of splendor, the moon
          another and the stars another; and star differs
          from star in splendor. So will it be with the
          resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown
          is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is
          sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is
          sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is
          sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual
          body. If there is a natural body, there is also a
          spiritual body." (1 Cor 15:35-44)
