1 Corinthians 15:39-49 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

39. Not all flesh is the same flesh; there is one flesh for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.

40. There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is different from that of the earthly ones.

41. There is a splendor of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for one star differs from another star in splendor.

42. So it is with the resurrection of the dead:Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption;

43. sown in dishonor, raised in glory; sown in weakness, raised in power;

44. sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body.If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

45. So it is written: The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.

46. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual.

47. The first man was from the earthand made of dust; the second man is from heaven.

48. Like the man made of dust,so are those who are made of dust;like the heavenly man,so are those who are heavenly.

49. And just as we have bornethe image of the man made of dust,we will also bearthe image of the heavenly man.
