It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_corinthians/15-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_corinthians/15-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_corinthians/15-45.htm"><b>45</b></a></span>So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul."
