Thou fool, that\r\nwhich thou sowest is not quickened, except it die. And that\r\nwhich thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but\r\nbare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain;\r\nbut God giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him, and to every\r\nseed his own body.”<a id=\"r912\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f912\"><sup>[912]</sup></a> Now, observe how in these words he\r\nsays that there is sown, “not that body that shall be;” but that\r\nof the body which is sown and cast naked into the earth (God\r\ngiving to each seed its own body), there takes place as it were\r\na resurrection: from the seed that was cast into the ground\r\nthere arising a stalk, <i>e.g.</i> among such plants as the following,\r\nviz. the mustard plant, or of a larger tree, as in the olive,<a id=\"r913\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f913\"><sup>[913]</sup></a> or\r\none of the fruit-trees.</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK V.","Chapter XVIII."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-345"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"20af773a6b79cdc2929f0f54bc77c52341deec58b82ea26add343dd1b60b8f6d","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
