1 Corinthians 15:42-50
Legacy Standard Bible
42 (A)So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown [a](B)a corruptible body, it is raised [b](C)an incorruptible body; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in (D)glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a (E)natural body, it is raised a (F)spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So also it is written, “The first (G)man, Adam, became a living soul.” The (H)last Adam became a (I)life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47 The first man is (J)from the earth, [c](K)earthy; the second man is from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, (L)so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And just as we have (M)borne the image of the earthy, [d]we (N)will also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now I say this, brothers, that (O)flesh and blood cannot (P)inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the corruptible inherit (Q)the incorruptible.

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.
