1 Corinthians 15:43-53

43it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in 1glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44it is sown a 2natural body, it is raised a 3spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45So also it is written: “The first 4man, Adam, became a living 5person.” The 6last Adam was a 7life-giving spirit. 46However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47The first man is 8from the earth, 910earthy; the second Man is from heaven. 48As is the earthy one, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly One, 11so also are those who are heavenly. 49Just as we have 12borne the image of the earthy, 13we 14will also bear the image of the heavenly.

50Now I say this, brothers and sisters, that 15flesh and blood cannot 16inherit the kingdom of God; nor does 17the perishable inherit 1819the imperishable. 51Behold, I am telling you a 2021mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be 22changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for 23the trumpet will sound, and 24the dead will be raised 25imperishable, and 26we will be changed. 53For this 27perishable must put on 2829the imperishable, and this 30mortal must put on immortality.
