1 Corinthians 15:36

34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.

35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

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

37 And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.

38 But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
