but we will all be changed,
in a moment, in the blink of an eye,

with immortality.

with incorruptibility,
and this mortal is clothed
with immortality,

Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him because we will see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself just as He is pure.
