Poetry

---

How are the dead resurrected?
What kind of body do they get?
Is the new body perfected,
After the Lord has paid their debt.

What you sow does not come to life,
Be not a fool unless it dies;
Once resurrected you rid strife,
And truth is exposed from the lies.

For what you sow is that to be,
Rather merely as a bare grain;
After being raised you not see,
All the strife that caused you much pain.

To the chosen bodies are given,
Own body to each kind of seed;
Soon as you have entered Heaven,
According as to fit your need.

For all flesh is never the same,
There is only one kind for man;
Not like the other beasts became,
That the Lord would have in His plan.

Distinct ones for Heaven and earth,
Glory of Heaven is one kind;
Because you are given rebirth,
No longer a corrupted mind.

There is one glory of the sun,
Another glory of the moon;
Of stars, glory differs each one,
Like birds sing a different tune.

Bodies sown are perishable,
But are raised up as permanent;
For each one is treasurable,
God thinks each one is important.

For it is sown in dishonor,
And will be raised up in glory;
Since the body of a fawner,
Confessing and being sorry.

Sown in weakness, raised in power,
For being raised as spiritual;
Transformation at that hour,
For discarding the natural.
