1 Corinthians 15:43–53

⁴³It is sown in dishonour: it shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness: it shall rise in power.

⁴⁴It is sown a natural body: it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, as it is written:

⁴⁵The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.

⁴⁶Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural: afterwards that which is spiritual.

⁴⁷The first man was of the earth, earthly: the second man, from heaven, heavenly.

⁴⁸Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.

⁴⁹Therefore, as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly.

⁵⁰Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.

⁵¹Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed.

⁵²In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall rise again incorruptible. And we shall be changed.

⁵³For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortal must put on immortality.
