1 Corinthians 15:48-50
International Standard Version
48 Those who are made of the dust are like the man from the dust; those who are heavenly are like the man who is from heaven. 49 Just as we have borne the likeness of the man who was made from dust, we will[a] also bear the likeness of the man from heaven.
50 Brothers, this is what I mean: Mortal bodies[b] cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and what decays cannot inherit what does not decay.
