Bible verse
And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
1 Corinthians 15:49 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 15.
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
48 As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
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—
52 in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53 For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
