1 Corinthians 15:39
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.
Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.
40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.
41 The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
