SIL Translator’s Notes on 1 Corinthians 15:44

15:44a It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.

The body that is buried is part of this world, but when ⌊God⌋ raises it from the dead, it will be above/beyond this world.
-or-
Our (incl.) bodies now are for living in this world, but when they rise they will be for living in heaven.

15:44b If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

Because we (incl.) have a body that is part of this world, we will also have a body that is above/beyond this world.
-or-
Now we have bodies for living in this world, then we will have bodies for living in heaven.
