[1 Corinthians 15:](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+15\&version=RSV)

> 45 Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 But it is not the spiritual which is first but the physical, and then the spiritual. 47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven. 49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall\[[b](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+15\&version=RSV#fen-RSV-28745b)] also bear the image of the man of heaven. 50 I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
