1 Corinthians 15:42-44
1599 Geneva Bible
42 [a]So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is [b]sown in corruption, and is raised in incorruption.
43 It is sown in [c]dishonor, and is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, and is raised in [d]power.
44 [e]It is sown a natural body, and is raised a spiritual body: there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

- 1 Corinthians 15:42 He maketh three manner of qualities of the bodies being raised: Incorruption, to wit, because they shall be sound, and altogether of a nature that cannot be corrupt: Glory, because they shall be adorned with beauty and honor: Power, because they shall continue everlasting without meat, drink, and all other helps, without which this frail life cannot keep itself from corruption.
- 1 Corinthians 15:42 Is buried, and man is hid as seed in the ground.
- 1 Corinthians 15:43 Void of honor, void of glory, and beauty.
- 1 Corinthians 15:43 Freed from the former weakness, whereas it is subject to such alteration and change, that it cannot maintain itself without meat and drink, and such otherlike helps.
- 1 Corinthians 15:44 He showeth perfectly in one word, this change of the quality of the body by the resurrection, when he saith, that of a natural body, it shall become a spiritual body, which two qualities being clean different, the one from the other, he straightway expoundeth and setteth forth diligently.
