Weymouth New Testament WNT
New International Version NIV
45 In the same way also it is written, "The first man Adam became a living animal"; the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit.
45
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being” ; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
46 Nevertheless, it is not what is spiritual that came first, but what is animal; what is spiritual came afterwards.
46
The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.
47 The first man is a man of earth, earthy; the second man is from Heaven.
47
The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.
48 What the earthy one is, that also are those who are earthy; and what the heavenly One is, that also are those who 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 a resemblance to the earthy one, let us see to it that we also bear a resemblance to the heavenly One.
49
And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.
50 But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.
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.
51 I tell you a truth hitherto kept secret: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
51
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sounding of the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incapable of decay, and *we* shall be changed.
52
in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53 For so it must be: this perishable nature must clothe itself with what is imperishable, and this mortality must clothe itself with immortality.
53
For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
54 But when this perishable nature has put on what is imperishable, and this mortality has put on immortality, then will the words of Scripture be fulfilled, "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
54
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
55 "Where, O death, is thy victory? Where, O death, is thy sting?"
55
“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”
