41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
41
The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
42
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
43
it is sown in dishonor, it 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. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
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 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
45
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being” ; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
46
The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
47
The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
48
As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
49
And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
50
I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
