1 Corinthians 15:48-50
1599 Geneva Bible
48 [a]As is the earthly, such are they that are earthly: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have born the [b]image of the earthly, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly.
50 [c]This say I, brethren, that [d]flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

- 1 Corinthians 15:48 He applieth both the earthly naturalness of Adam (if I may so say) to our bodies, so long as they are naturally conversant on earth, to wit, in this life, and in the grave: and also the spirituality of Christ to the same our bodies, after that they are risen again: and he saith, that that goeth before and this shall follow.
- 1 Corinthians 15:49 Not a vain and false image, but such an one as had the truth with it indeed.
- 1 Corinthians 15:50 The conclusion: We cannot be partakers of the glory of God, unless we put off all that gross and filthy nature of our bodies subject to corruption, that the same body may be adorned with incorruptible glory.
- 1 Corinthians 15:50 Flesh and blood are taken here for a living body, which cannot attain to incorruption, unless it put off corruption.
