1Cor 15:42-53 | ESV | STEP | So is it with the resurrection of the dead . What is sown is perishable ; what is raised is imperishable .

42 ^aSo is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. 43 It is sown in dishonor; ^bit 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. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 Thus it is written, ^c“The first man Adam became a living being”; ^{▼▼Greek a living soul} ^ethe last Adam became a ^flife-giving spirit. 46 But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. 47 ^gThe first man was from the earth, ^ha man of dust; ⁱthe second man is from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, ^jso also are those who are of heaven. 49 Just ^kas we have borne the image of the man of dust, ^lwe shall ^{▼▼Some manuscripts let us} also bear the image of the man of heaven.

Mystery and Victory

50 I tell you this, brothers: ⁿflesh and blood ^ocannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. ^pWe shall not all sleep, ^qbut we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For ^rthe trumpet will sound, and ^sthe dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and ^tthis mortal body must put on immortality.
