⁴ ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes.^(A) There will be no more death’^[a](B) or mourning or crying or pain,^(C) for the old order of things has passed away.”^(D)

⁵² in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,^(A) the dead^(B) will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. ⁵³ For the perishable^(C) must clothe itself with the imperishable,^(D) and the mortal with immortality. ⁵⁴ When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”^[a](E)

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin,^(G) and the power of sin is the law.^{(H) 57} But thanks be to God!^(I) He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.^(J)

²¹ For since death came through a man,^(A) the resurrection of the dead^(B) comes also through a man. ²² For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.^(C)

¹¹ Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’^{(A) 12} Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.^{(B) 13} Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord,^(C) when I open your graves and bring you up from them.^{(D) 14} I will put my Spirit^(E) in you and you will live, and I will settle^(F) you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.^(G)’”

¹⁷ Every good and perfect gift is from above,^(A) coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,^(B) who does not change^(C) like shifting shadows.
