1 Corinthians 15:35-37
(35) But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
(36) Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
(37) And 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:
15:35-37. One objection to belief in anyone’s resurrection might be its incomprehensibility. This was the point of the questions How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come? Paul did not consider these sorts of questions a wise person would ask, as is obvious from his response, How foolish! (lit., “how senseless or thoughtless”) to his imaginary interlocutor. Belief in the Resurrection was like belief in seedtime and harvest. Neither could be completely understood but both were real. As a plant which sprouted from a seed was directly linked to it but remarkably different from it, so too was the relationship of a natural and a resurrected body.
