1Cor.15.42

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

1Cor.15.42

This image of planting a dead seed and raising a live plant is a mere sketch at best, but perhaps it will help in approaching the mystery of the resurrection body--but only if you keep in mind that when we're raised, we're raised for good, alive forever!

1Cor.15.42

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;

1Cor.15.42

It is the same way for the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies, which die and decay, will be different when they are resurrected, for they will never die.
