1 Corinthians 15

41 Ref There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

42 Ref So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.

43 Ref It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

44 Ref It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

45 Ref So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

46 Ref However that which is spiritual isn't first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.

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

48 Ref As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

49 Ref As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let's{NU, TR read "we will" instead of "let's"} also bear the image of the heavenly.

50 Ref Now I say this, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

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

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

53 Ref For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 Ref But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory."
