The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 15.

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

50 Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
