1 Corinthians 15:50-58 - Victorious Resurrection

⁵⁰ Now this I affirm, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit imperishability. ⁵¹ Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will actually not all sleep, but we will all be transformed, ⁵² in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For it will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be transformed. ⁵³ For this perishable must put on imperishability, and this mortal put on immortality. ⁵⁴ But when this perishable will have put on imperishability, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written, Death was swallowed up in victory. ⁵⁵ O death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory? ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But thanks is to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brothers, become ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not empty in Lord.
