1 Corinthians 15:44
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
