1 Corinthians 15:47–57

⁴⁷The first man was of the earth, earthly: the second man, from heaven, heavenly.

⁴⁸Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.

⁴⁹Therefore, as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly.

⁵⁰Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.

⁵¹Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed.

⁵²In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall rise again incorruptible. And we shall be changed.

⁵³For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortal must put on immortality.

⁵⁴And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.

⁵⁵O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?

⁵⁶Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law.

⁵⁷But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
