Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, and rises again in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonour, and rises in honour. It is sown in weakness, and rises in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, and rises a spiritual body. 45 There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body; as it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul, and the last Adam was made a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and then that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy. And the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are those who are earthy. And as is the heavenly, such are those who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly.
