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.
