Everyone will be resurrected in a body that endures for eternity.

As far as I can tell, the kind of resurrected body that the righteous and wicked receive have similarities, but one is immortal and one is not immortal:
Luke 20:34-36
34And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Those in the resurrected of the wicked will die again:
Revelation 20:14-15
14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
They are resurrected back in their former bodies because they have to die a second time. An immortal body cannot die so the second death can't be possible if they resurrected to immortality.
The perishable does not inherit the imperishable. Those without the indwelling
presence of the Holy Spirit of God are referred to as dead even when they are raised,
and they go to their second death, from which there is no return, since it is is ever after.

I think the Bible lines out that we all get the same body. The difference is that the saved continue on living and the lost receives the wages of sin, which is the second death because they die once more. Their body and soul is destroyed and they have no hope of another resurrection.
My opinion is the unsaved has the same kind of resurrected body as we will have based on I cor 15 and Matthew 25. Goats and Sheep have similar bodies. Also, the burning bush did not burn.

So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.

God was not showing His wrath to the bush, nor Moses for that matter
Yes. Addressed to brothers and sisters in the Lord
Who puts on the imperishable? Only believers.
Those who remain perishable shall perish, just as Scripture attests.
Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Joh 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
Joh 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Joh 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Joh 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
I believe the answer you are looking for is found here.
1 Corinthians 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
I speculate and say I think THIS is where the change comes about, especially with the 'wheat' reference. Maybe, just as there are vessels of gold and honor down to vessels of wood and dishonor FOR THE SAVED, there is a system like that going the other direction for the UNSAVED. IDK. We do know that we don't want to be found naked. I think this all ties in with OUR WORKS do follow us, and the linen is the righteousness of the saints.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead.
It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption
And this is kind of a 'mean' thought, but would be JUST, the lake of fire would be much worse for an 'imperishable' body than a perishable. I know they would both be consumed, but the imperishable one would make death a bit harder, I SPECULATE again. To me it gives more meaning to the verse Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Do you see those verses as a 'compare and contrast' of the Old and New Testament and the changes taking place with the death and resurrection from the dead of Christ?
An immortal body cannot be destroyed. Only the saved get immortal bodies. The unsaved get mortal bodies.
I don’t think any of the bodies are immortal but regular bodies sustained by Christ.
The bodies of the saved are immortal:
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Rom 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Rom 2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
Rom 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
Insured with all of that. Then differences is I think that the incorruptible and immortality is gift by Yahweh through Christ. The body is not immortal on its own. Without Gods sustaining power they would die just like the unsaved.
