1 Corinthians 15
As Paul teaches that all will be resurrected describing the different types of resurrected bodies, he teaches -
"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body." (1 Corinthians 15:43–44)
It seems to me that the natural body lives by flesh and blood, but the spiritual resurrected body is quickened or lives by the spirit.
Elder Howard W. Hunter taught -
“There is a separation of the spirit and the body at the time of death. The resurrection will again unite the spirit with the body, and the body becomes a spiritual body, one of flesh and bones but quickened [made alive] by the spirit instead of blood. Thus, our bodies after the resurrection, quickened by the spirit, shall become immortal and never die. This is the meaning of the statements of Paul that ‘there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body’ and ‘that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.’ The natural body is flesh and blood, but quickened by the spirit instead of blood, it can and will enter the kingdom.” (General Conference, April 1969.)
