1 Corinthians 15:43–53

⁴³it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in ^aglory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

⁴⁴it is sown a ^anatural body, it is raised a ^bspiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

⁴⁵So also it is written, “The first ^aman, Adam, became a living soul.” The ^blast Adam became a ^clife-giving spirit.

⁴⁶However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

⁴⁷The first man is ^afrom the earth, ^1bearthy; the second man is from heaven.

⁴⁸As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, ^aso also are those who are heavenly.

⁴⁹And just as we have ^aborne the image of the earthy, ¹we ^bwill also bear the image of the heavenly.

⁵⁰Now I say this, brothers, that ^aflesh and blood cannot ^binherit the kingdom of God, nor does the corruptible inherit ^cthe incorruptible.

⁵¹Behold, I tell you a ^amystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be ^bchanged,

⁵²in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For ^athe trumpet will sound, and ^bthe dead will be raised incorruptible, and ^cwe will be changed.

⁵³For this corruptible must put on ^athe incorruptible, and this ^bmortal must put on immortality.
