Church Fathers on 1 Corinthians 15:40

“All flesh is not the same flesh.” For why speak I, says he, in respect of seeds? In respect of bodies let us agitate this point, concerning which we are discoursing now. Wherefore also he adds, and says, “But there is one flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of birds, and another of fishes.” “There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.”
