1 Corinthians 15:35-58 - Questions Concerning The Resurrection Body
35 But someone will say, "How can the dead rise? What kind of a body will they have when they come back?" 36 You foolish man, the very seed you sow never comes to life without dying first; 37 and when you sow it, it has not the form it is going to have, but is a naked kernel, perhaps of wheat or something else; 38 and God gives it just such a form as he pleases, so that each kind of seed has a form of its own. 39 Flesh is not all alike; men have one kind, animals another, birds another, and fish another. 40 There are heavenly bodies, and there are earthly bodies, but the beauty of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the beauty of the earthly bodies is of another. 41 The sun has one kind of beauty, and the moon another, and the stars another; why, one star differs from another in beauty. 42 It is so with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in decay, it is raised free from decay. 43 It is sown in humiliation, it is raised in splendor. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in strength. 44 It is a physical body that is sown, it is a spiritual body that is raised. If there is a physical body, there is a spiritual body also. 45 This is also what the Scripture says: "The first man Adam became a living creature." The last Adam has become a life-giving Spirit. 46 It is not the spiritual that comes first, but the physical, and then the spiritual.
47 The first man is of the dust of the earth; the second man is from heaven. 48 Those who are of the earth are like him who was of the earth, and those who are of heaven are like him who is from heaven, 49 and as we have been like the man of the earth, let us also try to be like the man from heaven.
50 But I can tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot share in the Kingdom of God, and decay will not share in what is imperishable. 51 I will tell you a secret. We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised free from decay, and we shall be changed. 53 For this perishable nature must put on the imperishable, and this mortal nature must put on immortality. 54 And when this mortal nature puts on immortality, then what the Scripture says will come true??Death has been triumphantly destroyed. 55 Where
