1 Corinthians 15:36 - Compare All Versions

Deildu

How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

What a foolish question! When you put a seed into the ground, it doesn’t grow into a plant unless it dies first.

You fool! What you sow does not come to life  unless it dies.

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die

Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

Some skeptic is sure to ask, “Show me how resurrection works. Give me a diagram; draw me a picture. What does this ‘resurrection body’ look like?” If you look at this question closely, you realize how absurd it is. There are no diagrams for this kind of thing. We do have a parallel experience in gardening. You plant a “dead” seed; soon there is a flourishing plant. There is no visual likeness between seed and plant. You could never guess what a tomato would look like by looking at a tomato seed. What we plant in the soil and what grows out of it don’t look anything alike. The dead body that we bury in the ground and the resurrection body that comes from it will be dramatically different.

You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies

You fool! Every time you plant seed you sow something that does not come to life [germinating, springing up and growing] unless it first dies.

Fool! What you sow will not come to life unless it dies.
