    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.

    53For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.

    54Now when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will happen,“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

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

    35The Resurrection Body But someone will say,“How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

    36Fool! What you sow will not come to life unless it dies.

    37And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare seed– perhaps of wheat or something else.

    38But God gives it a body just as he planned, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.

    39All flesh is not the same: People have one flesh, animals have another, birds and fish another.

    40And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. The glory of the heavenly body is one sort and the earthly another.

    3if indeed, after we have put on our heavenly house, we will not be found naked.

    4For we groan while we are in this tent, since we are weighed down, because we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
