1 Corinthians 15:40

Both hash-bound exact claims were read in full within the single cited verse. Both tokens occur in the direct contrast between celestial and terrestrial bodies or glory; present-world state language is not needed. First Corinthians 15:40 directly contrasts celestial and terrestrial bodies and glories, supplying a scoped antithetical boundary for the earthly sense.
