1 Corinthians 15:36

“You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.”

Verse in context — 1 Corinthians 15

Wake up righteously, and don't sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?

You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.

That which you sow, you don't sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.

But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
