1 Corinthians 15:50-58 - Victorious Resurrection

50 But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable inherit what is imperishable. 51 I tell you a truth hitherto kept secret: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sounding of the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incapable of decay, and *we* shall be changed. 53 For so it must be: this perishable nature must clothe itself with what is imperishable, and this mortality must clothe itself with immortality. 54 But when this perishable nature has put on what is imperishable, and this mortality has put on immortality, then will the words of Scripture be fulfilled, "Death has been swallowed up in victory." 55 "Where, O death, is thy victory? Where, O death, is thy sting?" 56 Now sin is the sting of death, and sin derives its power from the Law; 57 but God be thanked who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

58 Therefore, my dear brethren, be firm, unmovable, busily occupied at all times in the Lord's work, knowing that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.
