1 Corinthians 15:43-53
Legacy Standard Bible
43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in (A)glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a (B)natural body, it is raised a (C)spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So also it is written, “The first (D)man, Adam, became a living soul.” The (E)last Adam became a (F)life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47 The first man is (G)from the earth, [a](H)earthy; the second man is from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, (I)so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And just as we have (J)borne the image of the earthy, [b]we (K)will also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now I say this, brothers, that (L)flesh and blood cannot (M)inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the corruptible inherit (N)the incorruptible. 51 Behold, I tell you a (O)mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be (P)changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For (Q)the trumpet will sound, and (R)the dead will be raised incorruptible, and (S)we will be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on (T)the incorruptible, and this (U)mortal must put on immortality.

1 Corinthians 15:43-53
New International Version
43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory;(A) it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.(B)
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];(C) the last Adam,(D) a life-giving spirit.(E) 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.(F) 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth;(G) the second man is of heaven.(H) 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.(I) 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man,(J) so shall we[b] bear the image of the heavenly man.(K)
50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood(L) cannot inherit the kingdom of God,(M) nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.(N) 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery:(O) We will not all sleep,(P) but we will all be changed(Q)— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,(R) the dead(S) will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable(T) must clothe itself with the imperishable,(U) and the mortal with immortality.
