"But someone may ask,
'How will the dead be brought to life again:
What kind of bodies will they have?"
What a foolish question! 
You will find the answer in your own garden!
When you put a seed into the ground
it doesn't grow into a plant 
unless it 'dies' first.
And when the green shoot comes up
out of the seed,
it is very different from the seed
you first planted.
For all you put into the ground
 is a dry little seed of wheat,
or whatever it is you are planting,
then God gives it a beautiful new body----
just the kind he wants it to have;
a different kind of plant
grown from each kind of seed.
And just as there are different
kind of seeds and plants
so also there are different kinds of flesh
Humans, animals, fish and birds
are all different."

~ 1 Corinthians 15:35- 39 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Paul launches into a discussion about what our resurrected bodies will be like. If you could select your own body, what kind would you choose---strong, athletic, beautiful? Paul explains that we will be recognized in our resurrected bodies, yet they will be better than we can imagine, for they will be made to live forever. We will still have our own personalities and individualities, but these will be perfected through Christ's work. Scripture does not say what our resurrected bodies will be able to do, but we know they will be perfect, without sickness or disease."
