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.

45So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living person”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

46However, the spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.

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

48Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust, and like the one from heaven, so too those who are heavenly.

49And just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven.

50Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

51Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed –

52in a moment, in the blinking 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 this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
