In heaven we will have glorious indestructible bodies.

1 Corinthians 15:35-58

35 But some of you are asking, “How will dead people be raised {How will God cause dead people to become alive} again? What kind of bodies will they have?” 36 Anyone who asks such questions is foolish. You know that a seed that is planted in the ground must completely change its form [MET] before it sprouts. 37 A seed, such as a wheat seed, is very different from the plant that sprouts from it. 38 God gives everything that lives the form that he desires. He gives each seed its own form. 39 Similarly, people, animals, birds, and fish all have flesh, but each one has a different kind of flesh. 40 Also, there are angelic beings in heaven (OR, stars and planets in the sky), and there are people with bodies on the earth. The angelic beings (OR, stars and planets) are beautiful in one way, and people on earth are beautiful in a different way. 41 The sun is bright in one way, and the moon is bright in a different way, and the stars are bright in a different way. And even the various stars are different from each other in how bright they are.

42 And it is the same way with our bodies. The bodies that we will have when God causes us to live again after we die will not be the same as the bodies that we have now [MET]. The bodies that we have now will die and decay. The new bodies that we will have will never die. 43 We despise the bodies that we have now, before we die. But our new bodies will be glorious. The bodies that we have before we die are weak. But our new bodies will be strong. 44 The bodies that we have before we die are natural bodies. But our new bodies will be ones that God’s Spirit ◄controls/gives us►. Just like there are natural bodies, there are bodies that God’s Spirit completely controls (OR, makes alive).

45 In the Scriptures it is written {we read} that when the first man, Adam, was created, he became a living human being. Christ later also became a human being. But he is different from Adam, because he became a person who gives us spiritual life. 46 But our bodies that God’s Spirit ◄will completely control/will give us► are not the first bodies that we have. We have our natural bodies first. 47 The first man, Adam, was created {God created the first man, Adam} from the dust of the earth. But Christ, the one who came later, came from heaven. 48 Everyone on earth has a body like the first man on the earth had. And in heaven, everyone will have a body like Christ, the man who came from heaven, has. 49 And just like God gave us bodies like the first man on earth had, so we believers will have bodies like Christ has, who is now in heaven.

50 My fellow believers, I want you to know that we (inc) [SYN] cannot go to heaven, where God rules over everything, with our physical bodies, because our bodies cannot last forever. They will die and decay. 51 But I will tell you something that God has not revealed before: Some of us believers will not die [EUP]. However, all of us will be changed {God will change all of us}. 52 It will happen suddenly, as fast as someone can blink his eye [MET], when we hear the sound of God’s trumpet for the last time. When we hear that trumpet, all the believers who have died will come back to life and will have bodies that are changed {that God has changed}, bodies that will never decay. 53 And the bodies of us who are alive at that time will also be changed {And God will also change the bodies of us who are alive at that time}. These bodies of ours that die and decay must be transformed into new bodies that will never die; it will be like someone [MET] getting rid of his old clothes and putting on new ones. 54 When that happens, what is written {what ◄a prophet/Isaiah► wrote} in the Scriptures will come true/happen:

God will completely get rid of [MET] death. Our dying will no longer have any power to defeat us; 55 Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us.

56 It is because we sin [MET] that we die, and it is because we have God’s laws that we know that we have sinned. 57 But because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done, he enables us to be free from having to obey God’s laws to be saved and to be free of being afraid to die. We should thank God for that!

58 So, my fellow believers whom I love, continue to hold strongly to the things that you believe. Do not let anything cause you to doubt them. Always be doing enthusiastically the work that the Lord gives you. And remember that the work that you do for the Lord is never ◄in vain/useless►, as it would be if God will not cause us to live again after we die.
