1 Corinthians 15:42-50
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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;(E)[a] 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
and made of dust;(G)
the second man is[b] from heaven.
48 Like the man made of dust,
so are those who are made of dust;
like the heavenly man,
so are those who are heavenly.(H)
49 And just as we have borne
the image(I) of the man made of dust,
we will also bear
the image of the heavenly man.(J)
Victorious Resurrection
50 Brothers, I tell you this: Flesh(K) and blood(L) cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and corruption cannot inherit incorruption.
