1 Corinthians 15:42–56

^42rSo also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in ^scorruption; it is raised in ^tincorruption: ^43uIt is sown in dishonour; it ^ris raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: ⁴⁴It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a ^wnatural body, and there is a spiritual body. ⁴⁵And so it is written, ^xThe first man Adam was made a living soul; ^ythe last Adam was made ^za quickening spirit. ⁴⁶Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is ^wnatural; and afterward that which is spiritual. ^47aThe first man is of the earth, ^bearthy: the second man is ^acthe Lord from heaven. ⁴⁸As is the ^bearthy, such are they also that are ^bearthy: and as is the heavenly, ^dsuch are they also that are heavenly. ⁴⁹And ^eas we have borne the image of the ^bearthy, ^fwe shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

⁵⁰Now this I say, brethren, that ^gflesh and blood ^hcannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth ⁱcorruption inherit ⁱincorruption. ⁵¹Behold, I shew you a mystery; ^kWe shall not all ^lsleep, but ^mwe shall all be changed, ⁵²In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for ⁿthe trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³For this corruptible must put on ⁱincorruption, and ^othis mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴So when this corruptible shall have put on ⁱincorruption, and ^opthis mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, ^qDeath is ^oswallowed up ^rin victory. ^55sO death, where is thy sting? O ^||tgrave, where is thy victory? ⁵⁶The sting of death is sin; and ^uthe strength of sin is the law.
