    42It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    50Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

    4Nicodemus said to him,“How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb and be born a second time, can he?”

    5Jesus answered,“I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

    6What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

    7Do not be amazed that I said to you,‘You must all be born from above.’

    10God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

    11For who among men knows the things of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

    12Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.

    13And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.

    14The unbeliever does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. And he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

    15The one who is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is understood by no one.

    35The Resurrection Body But someone will say,“How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

    36Fool! What you sow will not come to life unless it dies.

    37And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare seed– perhaps of wheat or something else.

    38But God gives it a body just as he planned, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.

    39All flesh is not the same: People have one flesh, animals have another, birds and fish another.

    40And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. The glory of the heavenly body is one sort and the earthly another.
