45. Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.
46. But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:
47. the first man out of the earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.
48. Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly one, such also the heavenly ones.
49. And as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one.
50. But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
51. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,
52. in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53. For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.
