⁴⁵ So also it has been written [in Gen 2:7], “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”. The Last Adam^[a] became a life-giving^[b] 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^[c]. ⁴⁸ Such^[d] 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.

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. ⁵¹ Behold, I tell you a mystery^[a]: we will not all fall-asleep. But we will all be changed—

⁵³ For this decayable body must put-on undecayability, and this mortal body must put on immortality^[a].

⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, the One giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
