1 Corinthians 15:43

Compare all

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

42 ^aSo also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.

43 ^aIt 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. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

45 And so it is written, ^a“The first man Adam became a living being.” ^bThe last Adam became ^ca life-giving spirit.

46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.

47 ^aThe first man was of the earth, ^bmade of dust; the second Man is² the Lord ^cfrom heaven.

48 As was the¹ man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; ^aand as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.

49 And ^aas we have borne the image of the man of dust, ^bwe shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

Our Final Victory

50 Now this I say, brethren, that ^aflesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I tell you a¹ mystery: ^aWe shall not all sleep, ^bbut we shall all be changed—

1 Corinthians 15:43

It is sown in dishonour - Shocking to those who loved it best, human nature in disgrace! It is raised in glory - Clothed with robes of light, fit for those whom the King of heaven delights to honour. It is sown in weakness - Deprived even of that feeble strength which it once enjoyed. It is raised in power - Endued with vigour, strength, and activity, such as we cannot now conceive.
