The Resurrection of the Dead

•It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; •it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; •it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; •it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

The Resurrection of the Dead

•I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead in will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.•For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.•But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory? O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
