    49And just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven.

    50Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

    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.

    21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also came through a man.

    22For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

    23But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits; then when Christ comes, those who belong to him.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    18Therefore encourage one another with these words.
