ISV(i)
51 Let me tell you a secret. Not all of us will die, but all of us will be changed—
52 in a moment, faster than an eye can blink, at the sound of the last trumpet. Indeed, that trumpet will sound, and then the dead will be raised never to decay, and we will be changed.
53 For what is decaying must be clothed with what cannot decay, and what is dying must be clothed with what cannot die.
54 Now, when what is decaying is clothed with what cannot decay, and what is dying is clothed with what cannot die, then the written word will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up by victory!”
55 “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”
56 Now death’s stinger is sin, and sin’s power is the Law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus the Messiah!
