Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last 

trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised 

imperishable, and we shall be changed.  For this perishable body 

must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on 

immortality.  When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and 

the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying 

that is written:

​

“Death is swallowed up in victory.

O death, where is your victory?

O death, where is your sting?”

​

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.  But 

thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord 

Jesus Christ.
