48 Like the man made of dust,

so are those who are made of dust;

like the heavenly man,

so are those who are heavenly. i

49 And just as we have borne

the image j of the man made of dust,

we will also bear

the image of the heavenly man. k

Victorious Resurrection

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

We will not all fall asleep,

but we will all be changed,

52 in 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.

53 For this corruptible must be clothed o

with incorruptibility, p

and this mortal must be clothed

with immortality.

54 When 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 q in victory. r s
