1 Corinthians 15:51-57

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.
