1 Corinthians 15:35-49

The question is raised with respect to the type of body people will have when raised. The body when raised will be different from the current body. This is similar to how a seed that is sown is different from when it is harvested. In addition, the glory is different for both the earthly body and the heavenly body. Similarly, there is a different glory for the sun, the moon and the stars.

There are a number of differences that Paul lists out. The body that is sown is perishable, dishonorable, weak and natural. However, the body that is raised is imperishable, raised in glory, raised in power and is spiritual. The contrast is also made between Adam and Jesus. Adam was from earth and of the dust, but Jesus is from heaven. We begin bearing the image of Adam, but there will come a time when we will bear the image of Jesus.
