- Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel
- that I preached to you,
- that you received
- and on which you stand,
- 2.and by which you are being saved, (if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.)
- For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received—
- that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
- 4.and that he was buried,
- and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,
…
- For just as death came through a man,
—the resurrection of the dead also came through a man.
- For just as in Adam all die,
—so also in Christ all will be made alive.
…
- So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living being“; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
- However, the spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
- The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.
- Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust, and like the one from heaven, so too those who are of heaven.
- And just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven.
- Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
