What you plant, whether it’s wheat or something else, is only a seed.  It doesn’t have the form that the plant will have. ³⁸ God gives the plant the form he wants it to have.  Each kind of seed grows into its own form. ³⁹ Not all flesh is the same.  Humans have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds have another, and fish have still another. ⁴⁰ There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies.  Heavenly bodies don’t all have the same splendor, neither do earthly bodies.

(1 Corinthians 15:37-40 -- GW)
