What you sow is not made alive unless first it dies; and as for what you sow, you sow, not the body that will develop, but a bare grain, it may be, of wheat or any one of the rest; but God gives it a body just as it has pleased him, and to each of the seeds its own body. ”
और जो तू बोता है, यह वह देह नहीं जो उत्पन्‍न होनेवाली है, परन्तु निरा दाना है, चाहे गेहूं का, चाहे किसी और अनाज का ।
