Berean Standard Bible

“So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.”

1 Corinthians 15:42

Save as image

Study note

Paul answers the question of how the dead are raised and with what kind of body. He uses images from farming and the natural world to show that what is sown differs from what grows.
