1 Corinthians 15:50-58 - Victorious Resurrection
50 I tell you this, my brothers, flesh and blood cannot inherit the Realm of God, nor can the perishing inherit the imperishable. 51 Here is a secret truth for you: not all of us are to die, but all of us are to be changed ??52 changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet-call. The trumpet will sound, the dead will rise imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this perishing body must be invested with the imperishable, and this mortal body invested with immortality; 54 and when this mortal body has been invested with immortality, then the saying of Scripture will be realized, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O Death, where is your victory? O Death, where is your sting? 56 -- 57 The victory is ours, thank God! He makes it ours by our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Well then, my beloved brothers, hold your ground, immovable; abound in work for the Lord at all times, for you may be sure that in the Lord your labour is never thrown away.
