1 Corinthians 15:43-57

ABU(i) 43 It is sown in dishonor, it rises in glory. It is sown in weakness, it rises in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, it rises a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual. 45 So also it is written: The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam a life-giving spirit. 46 But the spiritual is not first, but the natural; and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. 48 As was the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we bore the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 And when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the saying, that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 Where, O death, is thy sting? Where, O death, is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.
