> I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. (Luke 12:4-5)

This is a fairly clear statement that the soul and body will be destroyed (in the sense of being ruined or lost, not "annihilated") in Hell. Annihilationists and conditionalists have a great deal of trouble with this verse. Knowing that the resurrection of the wicked is clearly taught in the NT, some will deny that the nature of the resurrection body of the wicked is the same as that of those of the justified, and that it will eventually "lose all vitality and truly die", but there is neither scriptural nor social warrant to suppose that there will be any difference in this way.

Another tack is to argue that the words "kill" and "destroy" being in parallel should mean that they indicate the same thing, which is without any linguistic support. Finally, an appeal is made to Luke's parallel version being itself parallel to Isaiah 66:24, which supposedly argues against eternal punishment; but to make this argument in this way begs the question of whether or not the punishment described is eternal or not.

If hell is a state of shame rather than a place of literal flames, then the bodily "destruction" is completely metaphorical -- and the nature of the body is irrelevant to begin with. The "shamed" resurrection person will in some way be inferior to the saved resurrected person -- perhaps, for example their resurrected body may not have the same range of competencies or powers. But that the wicked ARE raised is clear enough.
