哥林多前书第十五章35—50节，针对有人问末日的时候死人复活会带着什么身体来的问题，保罗说血肉之体是不能承受神的国的，肉身并不是那将来的身体，不过是籽粒而已，籽粒若不死就不能有新生，神能随自己的意思叫各种籽粒各有自己的身体。正如这个世界上的人和各种动物有不同的身体一样，天上则有天上的身体。死人复活也是这样，世界里的身体是必朽坏的，而复活的身体是不朽坏的，世界里的身体是血气之身，而复活的身体是灵性之身。

林前15:35 或有人问、死人怎样复活．带着甚么身体来呢。
But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?"
林前15:36 无知的人哪、你所种的、若不死就不能生。
You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
林前15:37 并且你所种的、不是那将来的形体、不过是子粒、即如麦子、或是别样的谷．
That which you sow, you don't sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
林前15:38 但 神随自己的意思、给他一个形体、并叫各等子粒、各有自己的形体。
But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
林前15:39 凡肉体各有不同．人是一样、兽又是一样、鸟又是一样、鱼又是一样。
All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
林前15:40 有天上的形体、也有地上的形体．但天上形体的荣光是一样、地上形体的荣光又是一样。
There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
林前15:41 日有日的荣光、月有月的荣光、星有星的荣光．这星和那星的荣光、也有分别。
There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
林前15:42 死人复活也是这样．所种的是必朽坏的、复活的是不朽坏的．
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
林前15:43 所种的是羞辱的、复活的是荣耀的．所种的是软弱的、复活的是强壮的．
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
林前15:44 所种的是血气的身体、复活的是灵性的身体．若有血气的身体、也必有灵性的身体。
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
林前15:50 弟兄们、我告诉你们说、血肉之体、不能承受 神的国．必朽坏的、不能承受不朽坏的。
Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
