    24Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when he has brought to an end all rule and all authority and power.

    25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

    26The last enemy to be eliminated is death.

    27For he has put everything in subjection under his feet. But when it says“everything” has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to him.

    28And when all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

    29Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they baptized for them?

    16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

    17Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

    51Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed–

    52in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

    42It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable.

    43It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

    44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

    45So also it is written,“The first man, Adam, became a living person”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

    46However, the spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.

    47The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.
