1 Corinthians 15:47–57

⁴⁷The first man was from the earth

and made of dust; ^g

the second man is ^hfrom heaven.

⁴⁸Like the man made of dust,

so are those who are made of dust;

like the heavenly man,

so are those who are heavenly. ⁱ

⁴⁹And just as we have borne

the image ^jof the man made of dust,

we will also bear

the image of the heavenly man. ^k

Victorious Resurrection

⁵⁰Brothers, I tell you this: Flesh ^land blood ^mcannot inherit the kingdom of God, and corruption cannot inherit incorruption. ⁵¹Listen! I am telling you a mystery:

We will not all fall asleep,

but we will all be changed,

⁵²in a moment, in the blink of an eye,

at the last trumpet. ⁿ

For the trumpet will sound,

and the dead will be raised incorruptible,

and we will be changed.

⁵³For this corruptible must be clothed ^o

with incorruptibility, ^p

and this mortal must be clothed

with immortality.

⁵⁴When this corruptible is clothed

with incorruptibility,

and this mortal is clothed

with immortality,

then the saying that is written will take place:

Death has been swallowed up ^qin victory. ^rs

⁵⁵Death, where is your victory?

Death, where is your sting? ^tu

⁵⁶Now the sting of death is sin,

and the power of sin ^vis the law. ^w

⁵⁷But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory ^x

through our Lord Jesus Christ!
