1 Corinthians 15:44-53

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 it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

46But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual.

47The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.

48As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.

49Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.

50I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

51Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.

53For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
