1 Corinthians 15:42

“So also is the resurrection of the dead, etc.] This will be the case and condition of risen bodies, they will be as different from what they now are, though they will be the same in substance, as a stalk of wheat in its blade and ear, and full corn in the ear, is from the naked grain, when cast into the earth; or as the flesh of men is from the flesh of beasts, fishes, and birds; or as celestial bodies from terrestrial ones; or as the glory of the sun differs from the glory of the moon and stars; or as one star differs from another star in glory; that this is the apostle’s sense is clear from the induction of particulars following, by which he explains in clear terms what he before signified…”

It is raised in incorruption - Utterly incapable of either dissolution or decay. 1 Corinthians 15:43”

“15:42-44 Just as growing plants differ from the seeds out of which they sprout, so resurrection bodies will be vastly unlike our mortal bodies.”
