12. Body
But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?“
How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.
St. Paul, writing to the Christians in Corinth
