⁴² And so the again-rising of dead men. It is sown in corruption, it shall rise in uncorruption;

⁴³ it is sown in unnobleness [it is sown in unnobility], it shall rise in glory; it is sown in infirmity, it shall rise in virtue;

⁴⁴ it is sown a beastly body, it shall rise a spiritual body. If there is a beastly body, there is also a spiritual body;

⁴⁵ as it is written, The first man Adam was made into a soul living, the last Adam into a spirit quickening.

⁴⁶ But the first is not that that is spiritual [But not first was that body that is spiritual], but that that is beast-like, afterward that that is spiritual.

⁴⁷ The first man of earth is earthly; the second man of heaven is heavenly [the second man of heaven is heaven-like].

⁴⁸ Such as the earthly man is, such be [and] the earthly men; and such as the heavenly man is, such be also the heavenly men.

⁴⁹ Therefore as we have borne the image of the earthly man, bear we also the image of the heavenly man [bear we and the image of the heavenly].

⁵⁰ Brethren, I say this thing, that flesh and blood be not able to wield the kingdom of God, neither corruption shall wield uncorruption. [Brethren, I say this thing, that flesh and blood may not wield the kingdom of God, neither corruption shall wield incorruption.]
