You should really use the whole quote. Doing otherwise is kind of sneaky.
The whole quote according to the King James version is
Quote:
|
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

And when you put it in CONTEXT like you are supposed to do here is what you get:
Quote:
40] There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
[41] There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
[42] So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
[43] It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
[44] It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
[45] And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
[46] Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
[47] The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
[48] As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenl

I get that he's talking about two dualities of things...both physical and spiritual. So what say you? What's your opinion on the entire piece and not just one little itty bit half a sentence?
