40. There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the heavenly glory is one thing, and the earthly glory is another.
41. One thing is the glory of the sun, and another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
42. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it shall be raised in incorruption;
43. it is sown in dishonour, it shall be raised with glory; it is sown in weakness, it shall be raised with power;
44. it is sown a natural body, it shall be raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a life-giving Spirit.
46. Howbeit the spiritual is not first, but the natural; and afterward, that which is spiritual.
47. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord of heaven.
48. As is the earthy, such are those also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such also are those that are heavenly.
49. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50. Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
