1 Corinthians 15:40-49 ▼

40 and [there are] heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;

41 one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of 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 incorruption;

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; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;

45 so also it has been written: “The first man Adam became a living creature,” the last Adam [is] for a life-giving spirit,

46 but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, afterward that which [is] spiritual.

47 The first man [is] out of the earth—earthly; the second Man [is] the LORD out of Heaven;

48 as [is] the earthly, such [are] also the earthly; and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the heavenly;

49 and according as we bore the image of the earthly, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
