⁴³sown in dishonor,^f raised in glory;^g sown in weakness, raised in power;^h ⁴⁴sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. ⁴⁵So it is written, The first man Adam became a living being;^Fⁱ the last Adam^j became a life-giving spirit. ⁴⁶However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual.

⁴⁷The first man was from the earth, a man of dust;^k the second man is^G from heaven. ⁴⁸Like the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; like the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven.^l ⁴⁹And just as we have borne the image^m of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.ⁿ

VICTORIOUS RESURRECTION

⁵⁰What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: Flesh^o and blood^p cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruption. ⁵¹Listen, I am telling you a mystery: We will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed, ⁵²in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.^q For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. ⁵³For this corruptible body must be clothed^r with incorruptibility,^s and this mortal body must be clothed with immortality.
