"Such things as are like the earth are earthly; and such things as are like the heavens are heavenly. "
— 1 Corinthians 15:48, Catholic Public Domain Version
“As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.”
“As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. ”
“As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.”
“Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust, and like the one from heaven, so too those who are heavenly.”
“Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.”
“Those who are of the earth are like the man who was from the earth: and those who are of heaven are like the one from heaven.”
“As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.”

The first man, being earthly, was of the earth; the second man, being heavenly, will be of heaven.
Such things as are like the earth are earthly; and such things as are like the heavens are heavenly.
And so, just as we have carried the image of what is earthly, let us also carry the image of what is heavenly.

Behold, I tell you a mystery. Certainly, we shall all rise again, but we shall not all be transformed:
