1 Corinthians 15:53-57

53That has to happen. Our bodies that are becoming spoiled must change. They must change into bodies that never become spoiled. Our bodies that are dying must change into bodies that will never die.

54God will give us new bodies like that. When that happens, what is written in the Bible will become true. It says: ‘God has won against death. He has destroyed it completely!’

55‘Death, you can no longer win! Death, you no longer have any power to hurt us!’

56Death only has power to hurt us because of our sins. And it is the authority of God's Law that gives power to sins.

57But now we thank God! Because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we win against death and its power.
