- 15:49 We shall also bear the image: although it has less manuscript support, this reading better fits the context’s emphasis on futurity and the transforming action of God; on future transformation as conformity to the image of the Son, cf. Rom 8:29; Phil 3:21. The majority reading, “let us bear the image,” suggests that the image of the heavenly man is already present and exhorts us to conform to it.
1 Corinthians 15:49
New International Version
49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man,(A) so shall we[a] bear the image of the heavenly man.(B)
