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.
