it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in ^(C1)glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

it is sown a ^(C1)natural body, it is raised a ^(C2)spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

So also it is written: "The first ^(C1)MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING ^(F1)PERSON." The ^(C2)last Adam was a ^(C3)life-giving spirit.

However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

The first man is ^(C1)from the earth, ^(F1)(C2)earthy; the second Man is from heaven.

As is the earthy one, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly One, ^(C1)so also are those who are heavenly.

Just as we have ^(C1)borne the image of the earthy, ^(F1)we ^(C2)will also bear the image of the heavenly.

Now I say this, brothers and sisters, that ^(C1)flesh and blood cannot ^(C2)inherit the kingdom of God; nor does ^(F1)the perishable inherit ^(F2)(C3)the imperishable.

Behold, I am telling you a ^(F1)(C1)mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be ^(C2)changed,

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for ^(C1)the trumpet will sound, and ^(C2)the dead will be raised ^(F1)imperishable, and ^(C3)we will be changed.

For this ^(F1)perishable must put on ^(F2)(C1)the imperishable, and this ^(C2)mortal must put on immortality.
