1 Corinthians 15:43–53

^43tIt 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. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. ⁴⁵And so it is written, ^u“The first man Adam became a living being.” ^vThe last Adam became ^wa life-giving spirit.

⁴⁶However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. ^47xThe first man was of the earth, ^ymade ⁹of dust; the second Man is ¹the Lord ^zfrom heaven. ⁴⁸As was the ²man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; ^aand as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. ⁴⁹And ^bas we have borne the image of the man of dust, ^cwe ³shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

Our Final Victory

⁵⁰Now this I say, brethren, that ^dflesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. ⁵¹Behold, I tell you a ⁴mystery: ^eWe shall not all sleep, ^fbut we shall all be changed—⁵²in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. ^gFor the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and ^hthis mortal must put on immortality.
