1 Corinthians 15:35-54

[35] But  some  man will say,  How  the dead  raised up?  and  with what  body  do they come?  [36] Thou fool,  that which  thou  sowest  not  quickened,  it die:  [37] And  that which  thou sowest,  not  that body  that shall be,  but  bare  grain,  it may chance  of wheat,  or  of some  other  [38] But  God  giveth  it  a body  as  it hath pleased him,  and  to every  seed  his own  body.  [39] All  flesh  is not  the same  flesh:  but  there is one  kind of flesh  of men,  another  flesh  of beasts,  another  of fishes,  and  another  of birds.  [40] There are also  celestial  bodies,  and  bodies  terrestrial:  but  the glory  of the celestial  is one,  and  the glory of the terrestrial  is another.  [41] There is one  glory  of the sun,  and  another  glory  of the moon,  and  another  glory  of the stars:  for  one star  differeth from  another 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  dishonour;  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.  a natural  body,  and  a spiritual  body.  [45] And  so  it is written,  The first  man  Adam  was made  a living  soul;  the last  Adam  was made  a quickening  spirit.  [46] Howbeit  that was not  first  which is spiritual,  but  that which is natural;  and afterward  that which is spiritual.  [47] The first  man  is of  the earth,  earthy:  the second  man  from  heaven.  [48] As  is the earthy,  such  are they also  that are earthy:  and  as is  the heavenly,  such  also  that are heavenly.  [49] And  as  we have borne  the image  of the earthy,  also  bear  the image  of the heavenly.  [50] Now  I say,  brethren,  that  flesh  and  blood  cannot  inherit  the kingdom  of God;  neither  corruption  inherit  incorruption.  [51] Behold,  I shew  a mystery;  not  all  sleep,  but  all  be changed,  [52] In  a moment,  in  the twinkling  of an eye,  at  the last  trump:  for  the trumpet shall sound,  and  the dead  shall be raised  incorruptible,  and  shall be changed.  [53] For  corruptible  must  put on  incorruption,  and  mortal  must put on  immortality.  [54] So  when  corruptible  shall have put on  incorruption,  and  mortal  shall have put on  immortality,  then  shall be brought to pass  the saying  that is written,  Death  is swallowed up  in  victory.
