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.

    ‘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)
