1 Corinthians 15:50-57
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
50 What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.(A) 51 Look, I will tell you a mystery! We will not all die,[a] but we will all be changed,(B) 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 imperishable, and we will be changed.(C) 53 For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality. 54 When this perishable body puts on imperishability and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled:
“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”(D)
55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.(E) 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

in the light of life.(A)
Job 33:21-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 Their flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and their bones, once invisible, now stick out.(A)
22 Their souls draw near the Pit
and their lives to those who bring death.(B)
23 Then, if there should be for one of them an angel,
a mediator, one of a thousand,
one who declares a person upright,(C)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the Pit;
I have found a ransom;(D)
25 let his flesh become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor,’(E)
26 then he prays to God and is accepted by him;
he comes into his presence with joy,
and God[a] repays him for his righteousness.(F)
27 That person sings to others and says,
‘I sinned and perverted what was right,
and it was not paid back to me.(G)
28 He has redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,
and my life shall see the light.’(H)
