1 Corinthians 15:38-53

Living_Oracles(i) 38 but God gives it a body, as it has pleased him; and to each of the seeds, its proper body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is, indeed, one flesh of men, and another of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of fowls. 40 And there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but different, indeed, is the glory of the celestial, and that of the terrestrial. 41 The glory of the sun is one, and the glory of the moon is another, and the glory of the stars another; moreover, star excels star in glory. 42 Just so 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 an animal body-it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 For thus it is written, "The first man, Adam, was made a living soul-the last Adam, a vivifying spirit." 46 However, that was not first, which is spiritual; but that which is animal, and then that which is spiritual. 47 The first man, from the earth, was earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As was the earthy, so also are the earthy; and as is the heavenly, such also shall be heavenly. 49 For, as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 And this I affirm, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God; neither can corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I tell you a secret: we shall not, indeed, all die; but we shall all be changed; 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for it shall sound, and then the dead shall be raised incorruptible; and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible body, must put on incorruption; and this mortal body must put on immortality.
