⁴⁸ People who live on the earth have bodies like the first man. That is the man that God made from the soil of the earth. People in heaven have bodies like the man who came from heaven. ⁴⁹ Now God has given us bodies that look like the first man. One day we will have bodies that look like the man who belongs in heaven.

⁵⁰ I tell you this, my Christian friends. Our weak human bodies cannot go to heaven, to join God in his kingdom there. Our human bodies will die. They cannot share in something that will continue for ever.
