1 Corinthians 15:41-54

Riverside(i) 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 will be the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in decay; it is raised imperishable. 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. If there is an animal body there is also a spiritual body. 45 Just as it is written, "The first man Adam became a living animal," the last Adam became a lifegiving spirit. 46 But the spiritual is not first, but the animal, then the spiritual. 47 The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthly man such are also those who are earthly, and as is the heavenly man such are also those who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthly man, we shall bear the image of the heavenly man. 50 But I say this, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor will decay inherit imperishability. 51 I am telling you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be transformed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet-call. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be transformed. 53 For this perishable must clothe itself with imperishability, and this mortal must clothe itself with immortality. 54 When this perishable has clothed itself with imperishability and this mortal has clothed itself with immortality, then will come to pass the word that is written, "Death has been swallowed up in victory.
