42 So houtōs also kai is the ho resurrection anastasis of the ho dead nekros. The body is sown speirō in en a perishable phthora state , it is raised egeirō imperishable aphtharsia. 43 It is sown speirō in en humiliation atimia, it is raised egeirō in en glory doxa; it is sown speirō in en weakness astheneia, it is raised egeirō in en power dynamis; 44 it is sown speirō a natural psychikos body sōma, it is raised egeirō a spiritual pneumatikos body sōma. If ei there is eimi a natural psychikos body sōma, there is eimi also kai a spiritual pneumatikos body. 45 So houtōs also kai it is written graphō, “ The ho first prōtos man anthrōpos, Adam Adam, became ginomai a living zaō soul psychē.” The ho last eschatos Adam Adam became a life-giving zōiopoieō spirit pneuma. 46 However alla, the ho spiritual pneumatikos did not ou come first prōton, but alla the ho natural psychikos, then epeita the ho spiritual pneumatikos. 47 The ho first prōtos man anthrōpos was of ek the earth , made of dust choikos; the ho second deuteros man anthrōpos is of ek heaven ouranos. 48 As was hoios the ho man of dust choikos, so toioutos also kai are those ho who are of dust choikos; and kai as hoios is the ho man of heaven epouranios, so toioutos also kai are those ho who are of heaven epouranios. 49 And kai even as kathōs we have borne phoreō the ho image eikōn of the ho man of dust choikos, let us also kai bear phoreō the ho likeness eikōn of the ho man of heaven epouranios

50 Now de this houtos I declare phēmi, brothers adelphos, that hoti flesh sarx and kai blood haima cannot ou inherit klēronomeō the kingdom basileia of God theos, nor oude does klēronomeō the ho perishable phthora inherit klēronomeō the ho imperishable aphtharsia.

42 (A)So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown [a](B)a perishable body, it is raised [b](C)an imperishable 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 [c]person.” The (H)last Adam was 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, [d](K)earthy; the second man is from heaven. 48 As is the earthy one, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly one, (L)so also are those who are heavenly. 49 Just as we have (M)borne the image of the earthy, [e]we (N)will also bear the image of the heavenly.

The Mystery of Resurrection

50 Now I say this, brothers and sisters, that (O)flesh and blood cannot (P)inherit the kingdom of God; nor does [f]the perishable inherit [g](Q)the imperishable.
