49. Therefore as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly.
50. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.
51. Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed.
52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed.
53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality.
54. And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
55. O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?
56. Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law.
57. But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
