1 Corinthians 15:42-50
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;[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.

1 Corinthians 15:42-50
Lexham English Bible
42 Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility. 43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 Thus also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”;[a] the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 But the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47 The first man is from the earth, made of earth; the second man is from heaven. 48 As the one who is made of earth, so also are those who are made of earth, and as the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the one who is made of earth, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruptibility.
