But someone may say, “How do the dead rise again?” or, “What type of body do they return with?” |
| 15:36 |
How foolish! What you sow cannot be brought back to life, unless it first dies. |
| 15:37 |
And what you sow is not the body that will be in the future, but a bare grain, such as of wheat, or of some other grain. |
| 15:42 |
So it is also with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown in corruption shall rise to incorruption. |
| 15:43 |
What is sown in dishonor shall rise to glory. What is sown in weakness shall rise to power. |
| 15:44 |
What is sown with an animal body shall rise with a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual one. |
| 15:45 |
Just as it was written that the first man, Adam, was made with a living soul, so shall the last Adam be made with a spirit brought back to life. |
| 15:46 |
So what is, at first, not spiritual, but animal, next becomes spiritual. |
| 15:47 |
The first man, being earthly, was of the earth; the second man, being heavenly, will be of heaven. |
| 15:48 |
Such things as are like the earth are earthly; and such things as are like the heavens are heavenly. |
| 15:49 |
And so, just as we have carried the image of what is earthly, let us also carry the image of what is heavenly. |
