1 Corinthians 15 51 58
Listen,
I tell you a mystery.
We will not all sleep,
but we will all be changed,
in a flash,
in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound,
the dead will be raised imperishable,
and we will be changed.
For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable,
and the mortal with immortality.
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable,
and the mortal with immortality,
then the saying that is written will come true,
Death
has been swallowed up
in victory.
Where, O Death,
is your victory?
Where, O Death,
is
your sting?
The sting of death is sin,
and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be
to God,
he gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my dear brothers
and sisters, stand firm.
Let nothing move you.
Always give yourselves fully
to the work
of the Lord,
because you know that your labour in the Lord
is not in vain.
