⁵⁰But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruptibility. ⁵¹Behold, I tell 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. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. ⁵³For it is necessary for this perishable body to put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body to put on immortality. ⁵⁴But whenever this perishable body puts on incorruptibility and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will take place:

“Death is swallowed up in victory.

⁵⁵Where, O death, is your victory?

Where, O death, is your sting?

⁵⁶Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. ⁵⁷But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! ⁵⁸So then, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, because you^* know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Read in Logos

1 Corinthians 15:58: Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
