    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.”

    55“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

    13The Lord Returns for Believers Now we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest who have no hope.

    14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also we believe that God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep as Christians.

    15For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not go ahead of those who have fallen asleep.

    1Living by Faith, Not by Sight For we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in, is dismantled, we have a building from God, a house not built by human hands, that is eternal in the heavens.

    2For in this earthly house we groan, because we desire to put on our heavenly dwelling,

    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.
