1 Corinthians 15 — Context

40

And there are bodies of heaven and bodies of earth, but the glory of the one is different from that of the other.

41

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for the glory of one star is different from that of another.

42

So is it with the coming back from the dead. It is planted in death; it comes again in life:

43

It is planted in shame; it comes again in glory: feeble when it is planted, it comes again in power:

44

It is planted a natural body; it comes again as a body of the spirit. If there is a natural body, there is equally a body of the spirit.

45

And so it is said, The first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit.

46

But that which is natural comes before that which is of the spirit.
