1 Corinthians 15:50–58

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!

⁵⁸Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, ^yknowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
