1 Corinthians 15:42-50

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

So Also Is The Resurrection of The Dead. We Are Raised In a Heavenly Body

⁴² So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in decay^[a]; it is raised in undecayability^[b]. 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^[c] body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is^[d] a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ So also it has been written [in Gen 2:7], “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”. The Last Adam^[e] became a life-giving^[f] spirit. ⁴⁶ But the spiritual body is not first— but the natural body, then the spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man was from earth, made-of-dust. The second Man is from heaven^[g]. ⁴⁸ Such^[h] as was the one made-of-dust— such ones also are the ones made-of-dust. And such as is the heavenly One— such ones also are the heavenly ones. ⁴⁹ And just as we bore^[i] the image^[j] of the one made of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly One.

Behold, I Tell You a Mystery: We Will Not All Die, But We Will All Conquer Death

⁵⁰ Now I say this, brothers: that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor does decay inherit undecayability.
