← 1 Corinthians 15:36	1 Corinthians 15:37 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 15:38 →
[Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:	And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]:	But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
