1 Corinthians 15 : 50 - 58
Chapter 15
| 50 | Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
|
| 51 | Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed--
|
| 52 | in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
|
| 53 | For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
|
| 54 | So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."
|
| 55 | "O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?"
|
| 56 | The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
|
| 57 | But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
| 58 | Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
|
The grace of God the Father be with you all.
Amen.
