1 Corinthians 15:40-49 ▼

40 And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But indeed, the glory of the heavenly is one kind, and that of the earthly is another.

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

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

43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual.

45 So also it has been written: “The first man Adam became into a living soul;” the last Adam into a life-giving spirit.

46 But the spiritual was not first, but the natural, then the spiritual.

47 The first man was out of the earth, made of dust; the second man out of heaven.

48 As was the one made of dust, such are also those made of dust; and as is the heavenly one, such are also the heavenly.

49 And as we bore the image of the one made of dust, we will also bear the image of the heavenly one.
