So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body;

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

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

It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

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

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

So also it is written: "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING PERSON." The last Adam was a life-giving spirit.

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

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

Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second Man is from heaven.

The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

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

As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Now I say this, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
