1 Corinthians 15:43-53
43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in (A)glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
44 it is sown a (B)natural body, it is raised a (C)spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
45 So also it is written, “The first (D)man, Adam, became a living soul.” The (E)last Adam became a (F)life-giving spirit.
46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.
47 The first man is (G)from the earth, (a)(H)earthy; the second man is from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, (I)so also are those who are heavenly.
49 Just as we have (J)borne the image of the earthy, (b)we (K)will also bear the image of the heavenly.
The Mystery of Resurrection
50 Now I say this, brethren, that (L)flesh and blood cannot (M)inherit the kingdom of God; nor does (c)the perishable inherit (d)(N)the imperishable.
51 Behold, I tell you a (O)mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be (P)changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for (Q)the trumpet will sound, and (R)the dead will be raised (e)imperishable, and (S)we will be changed.
53 For this (f)perishable must put on (g)(T)the imperishable, and this (U)mortal must put on immortality.
