1 Corinthians 15:43–53

⁴³It is sown in dishonor, it is 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. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. ⁴⁵Thus also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”;^j the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. ⁴⁶But the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. ⁴⁷The first man is from the earth, made of earth; the second man is from heaven. ⁴⁸As the one who is made of earth, so also are those who are made of earth, and as the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. ⁴⁹And just as we have borne the image of the one who is made of earth, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.

⁵⁰But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruptibility. ⁵¹Behold, I tell you a mystery: we will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed, ⁵²in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. ⁵³For it is necessary for this perishable body to put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body to put on immortality.
