1 Corinthians 15:37

Verse 37

37. Not… body that shall be The planter does not sow it a plant and then have it come up a plant. But a seed is sown and a plant is grown. Just so you bury a putrid corpse, and it comes forth an angel-like body. But to the apostle’s legitimate conception the new plant is but a transfiguration of the old seed, and the new body is but a molecular rearrangement of the old corpse. The old corpse is the primitive material out of which the new body is made; just as in the change of 1 Corinthians 15:52, the old is the material for the new.

Bare grain Naked kernel, not a living stalk, with fresh branches, foliage, and flower; as it is in its upspringing.
