Victorious Resurrection

50 Brothers, I tell you this: Flesh(A) and blood(B) 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.(C)
For the trumpet will sound,
and the dead will be raised incorruptible,
and we will be changed.
53 For this corruptible must be clothed(D)
with incorruptibility,(E)
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(F) in victory.(G)[a]
55 Death, where is your victory?
Death, where is your sting?(H)[b]
56 Now the sting of death is sin,
and the power of sin(I) is the law.(J)
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory(K)
through our Lord Jesus Christ!

58 Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work,(L) knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
