1 Corinthians 15:42
1 Corinthians 15:42-44 The Message (MSG)
This image of planting a dead seed and raising a live plant is a mere sketch at best, but perhaps it will help in approaching the mystery of the resurrection body—but only if you keep in mind that when we’re raised, we’re raised for good, alive forever! The corpse that’s planted is no beauty, but when it’s raised, it’s glorious. Put in the ground weak, it comes up powerful. The seed sown is natural; the seed grown is supernatural—same seed, same body, but what a difference from when it goes down in physical mortality to when it is raised up in spiritual immortality!
1 Corinthians 15:42 King James Version (KJV)
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption
1 Corinthians 15:42 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body
1 Corinthians 15:42 New Century Version (NCV)
It is the same with the dead who are raised to life. The body that is “planted” will ruin and decay, but it is raised to a life that cannot be destroyed.
1 Corinthians 15:42 American Standard Version (ASV)
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption
1 Corinthians 15:42 New International Version (NIV)
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable
1 Corinthians 15:42 New King James Version (NKJV)
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.
1 Corinthians 15:42 Amplified Bible (AMP)
So it is with the resurrection of the dead. The [human] body that is sown is perishable and mortal, it is raised imperishable and immortal. [Dan 12:3]
1 Corinthians 15:42 New Living Translation (NLT)
It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever.
