1 Corinthians 15:39-45

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁹ All flesh is not the same flesh: but one is the flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes.

⁴⁰ And there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but, one is the glory of the celestial, and another of the terrestrial.

⁴¹ One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory.

⁴² So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it shall rise in incorruption.

⁴³ It is sown in dishonour, it shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness, it shall rise in power.

⁴⁴ It is sown a natural body, it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, as it is written:

⁴⁵ The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.
