1 Corinthians 15:49

1 Corinthians 15:49

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—

52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. ^aFor the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and ^athis mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ^a“Death is swallowed up in victory.”

55 “O¹^a Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?”

We shall also bear (foresomen kai). Old MSS. (so Westcott and Hort) read foreswmen kai. Volitive aorist active subjunctive, Let us also bear. Ellicott strongly opposes the subjunctive. It may be merely the failure of scribes to distinguish between long o and short o. Paul hardly means to say that our attaining the resurrection body depends on our own efforts! A late frequentative form of ferw.
