1 Corinthians 15:43-49 New English Translation (NET)

43. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

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

45. So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living person”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

46. However, the spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.

47. The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.

48. Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust, and like the one from heaven, so too those who are heavenly.

49. And just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven.
