1 Corinthians 15:34-38
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
34Sober up morally and stop sinning, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35But someone will say, 'How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?'
36You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies;
37and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
38But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.
King James Version
35But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
Christian Standard Bible
35But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have when they come? "
36You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37And as for what you sow--you are not sowing the body that will be, but only a seed, perhaps of wheat or another grain.
38But God gives it a body as he wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.
New Living Translation
35But someone may ask, 'How will the dead be raised? What kind of bodies will they have?'
36What a foolish question! When you put a seed into the ground, it doesn’t grow into a plant unless it dies first.
37And what you put in the ground is not the plant that will grow, but only a bare seed of wheat or whatever you are planting.
38Then God gives it the new body he wants it to have. A different plant grows from each kind of seed.
English Standard Version
35But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?”
36You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.
38But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.
New International Version
35But someone will ask, 'How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?'
36How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
38But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.
New King James Version
35But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?”
36Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain.
38But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.
