32If, after the way of men, I was fighting with beasts at Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not come to life again, let us take our pleasure in feasting, for tomorrow we come to an end.
33Do not be tricked by false words: evil company does damage to good behaviour.
34Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.
35But someone will say, How do the dead come back? and with what sort of body do they come?
36Foolish man, it is necessary for the seed which you put into the earth to undergo death in order that it may come to life again:
37And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant;
38But God gives it a body, as it is pleasing to him, and to every seed its special body.
