1 Corinthians 15:43-45
Living Bible
43 The bodies we have now embarrass us, for they become sick and die; but they will be full of glory when we come back to life again. Yes, they are weak, dying bodies now, but when we live again they will be full of strength. 44 They are just human bodies at death, but when they come back to life they will be superhuman bodies. For just as there are natural, human bodies, there are also supernatural, spiritual bodies.
45 The Scriptures tell us that the first man, Adam, was given a natural, human body[a] but Christ is more than that, for he was life-giving Spirit.

1 Corinthians 15:43-45
New International Version
43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory;(A) it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.(B)
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”[a];(C) the last Adam,(D) a life-giving spirit.(E)
