1 Corinthians 15:48-57

48AsG3634 was theG3588 earthlyG5517 man, soG5108 alsoG2532 are those who areG3588 of the earthG5517; andG2532 asG3634 is theG3588 heavenlyG2032 man, soG5108 alsoG2532 are those who areG3588 of heavenG2032. 49AndG2532 just asG2531 we have borneG5409 theG3588 likenessG1504 of theG3588 earthlyG5517 man, so alsoG2532 shall we bearG5409 theG3588 likenessG1504 of theG3588 heavenlyG2032 man.

50NowG1161 I declareG5346 to you, brothersG80, thatG3754 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129 cannotG3756 G1410 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, norG3761 does theG3588 perishableG5356 inheritG2816 theG3588 imperishableG861.

51ListenG2400, I tellG3004 youG4771 a mysteryG3466: We will notG3756 allG3956 sleepG2837, butG1161 we will all be changedG3956 G236— 52inG1722 an instantG823, inG1722 the twinklingG4493 of an eyeG3788, atG1722 theG3588 lastG2078 trumpetG4536. ForG1063 the trumpet will soundG4537 , theG3588 deadG3498 will be raisedG1453 imperishableG862, andG2532 weG1473 will be changedG236. 53ForG1063 theG3588 perishableG5349 mustG1163 be clothedG1746 1 with the imperishableG861, andG2532 theG3588 mortalG2349 with immortalityG110.

WhenG3752 theG3588 perishableG5349 has been clothed withG1746 theG3588 imperishableG861 andG2532 theG3588 mortalG2349 with immortalityG110,2 thenG5119 theG3588 sayingG3056 thatG3588 is writtenG1125 will come to passG1096 : “DeathG2288 has been swallowed upG2666 inG1519 victoryG3534.”3

55“WhereG4226, O DeathG2288, is yourG4771 victoryG3534?WhereG4226, O DeathG2288, is yourG4771 stingG2759?”4

TheG3588 stingG2759 of deathG2288 is sinG266, andG1161 theG3588 powerG1411 of sinG266 is theG3588 lawG3551. 57ButG1161 thanksG5485 be toG3588 GodG2316, whoG3588 givesG1325 usG1473 theG3588 victoryG3534 throughG1223 ourG1473 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547!
