1 Corinthians 15:42-50

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴² So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption and is raised in incorruption.

⁴³ It is sown in dishonor and is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness and is raised in power.

⁴⁴ It is sown a natural body and is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

⁴⁵ As it is also written, “The first man, Adam, was made a living soul.” And the last Adam was made a life-giving Spirit.

⁴⁶ But that which is spiritual was not first; but that which is natural, and afterward that which is spiritual.

⁴⁷ The first man is of the Earth, earthly. The second Man is the Lord from Heaven.

⁴⁸ As is the earthly, such are those who are earthly. And as is the heavenly, such are those also who are heavenly.

⁴⁹ And as we have borne the image of the earthly, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly.

⁵⁰ This I say, brothers: that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
