For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

'this corruptible' -this body composed of "flesh and blood" (1 Corinthians 15:50).

'incorruption' -a body that cannot decay.

'this mortal' -2349. thnetos thnay-tos'; from 2348; liable to die: -mortal(-ity). This physical body that is prone to die.

'immortality' -110. athanasia ath-an-as-ee'-ah; from. compound of. (as. negative particle) and 2288; deathlessness: -immortality.. body that can never die.

'Incorruption and immortality is not predicated of the "soul", here, but of the body. And that truth is what most of the Greeks needed to hear. And it needs to be iterated today. The Bible does not teach redemption from the body (a view which is central to reincarnation and most Eastern religions), but the redemption of the body. (Romans 8:23)' (McGuiggan p. 204)

The body that Christians will be clothed with will be. body free from death, decay, and deterioration.
