And God gives it a body as he would, and to each of the seed its own body. Not all flesh the same flesh: but one truly flesh of men, and another of cattle, and another of fishes, and another of flying things. And celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies: but truly one the glory of the celestial, and another that of the terrestrial. One glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for star differs from star in glory. So also the rising up of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown an animated body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animated body, and there is a spiritual body. So also has been written, The first man Adam was born into a living soul; and the last Adam into a spirit making alive. But the first not spiritual, but animated; then the spiritual. The first man of earth, made of earth: the second man the Lord from heaven. As the made of earth, such also the made of earth: and as the celestial, such also the celestial. And as we have borne the image of the made of earth, we shall also bear the image of the celestial. And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I speak to you a mystery; We truly shall not all be laid asleep, but we shall all be changed, In an atom, in the twinkling of the eye, in the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corrupted must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality. And when this corrupted shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then shall be the word written, Death was swallowed down in victory. Where thine, death, the sting? where thine, hades, the victory And the sting of death sin; and the power of sin the law. And grace to God, giving us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stable, unmoved, abounding in the work of the Lord always, knowing that our fatigue is not in vain in the Lord.
