1 Corinthians 15:50-55
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?”
