Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “of the dead people” or “of the corpses” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj]]) 1CO 15 42 s12t figs-metaphor σπείρεται ἐν φθορᾷ 1 What is sown … what is raised Here Paul speaks as if a dead body were **sown** like a seed. He speaks in this way to connect how a dead body is buried in the ground with how a seed is **sown** in the ground. However, Paul does not continue the metaphor when he talks about how the body **is raised**, since those are his normal words for speaking about resurrection. If your readers would misunderstand **is sown**, you could use a comparable phrase that applies to both seeds and human bodies, or you could express the idea using an analogy. Alternate translation: “The body that is put in the ground in decay, just like a seed,” or “What is planted in decay” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) 1CO 15 42 b6ob figs-activepassive σπείρεται ἐν φθορᾷ, ἐγείρεται 1 If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on the body that **is sown** and **raised** rather than focusing on the people who do those actions. If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “people” do the sowing and “God” does the raising.

This was worded powerfully in his culture, and it emphasizes the three distinctions between how the body **is sown** and **raised**. If your readers would misunderstand why Paul repeats words and structure, and if it would not be worded powerfully or emphatic in your culture, you could eliminate some or all of the repetition and make the statements powerful in another way. If you use the following alternate translation, you will need to omit “What is sown in decay is raised in immortality” in [15:42](../15/42.md), since the alternate translation includes that idea. Alternate translation: “What is sown in dishonorable decay is raised in glorious immortality” or “What is sown in decay, dishonor, and weakness is raised in immortality, glory, and power” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]]) 1CO 15 43 h4u5 figs-metaphor σπείρεται ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ…σπείρεται ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ 1 It is sown … it is raised Here, just as in [15:42](../15/42.md), Paul speaks as if a dead body were **sown** like a seed.
