The Seed and the Body
You sow what is about to become, but if you should happen to find a naked grain of wheat or of something else; but God gives it a body, just as He willed. It has also been demonstrated concerning the seeds, how it dies and is made alive (1 Cor 15:36), and that God gives it a body.
Greek
