    48Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust, and like the one from heaven, so too those who are heavenly.

    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.

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

    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.
