42 So it is with the resurrection of the dead: Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption;(A) 43 sown in dishonor,(B) raised in glory;(C) sown in weakness, raised in power;(D) 44 sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written, The first man Adam became a living being;[a](E) the last Adam(F) became a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual.

47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust;(G) the second man is[b] from heaven. 48 Like the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; like the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven.(H) 49 And just as we have borne the image(I) of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.(J)

Victorious Resurrection

50 What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: Flesh(K) and blood(L) cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruption.
