1 Corinthians 15:38

and God giveth it a body, as he pleaseth; and to each of the grains its natural body.

James Murdock's Translation of the Syriac Peshitta

In The King James Version

But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

39And every body is not alike; for the body of a man is one thing, and that of a beast is another, and that of a bird is another, and that of a fish is another.
