1 Corinthians 15:53

1 Corinthians 15:53

51 Behold, I tell you a¹ mystery: ^aWe shall not all sleep, ^bbut we shall all be changed—

52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. ^aFor the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and ^athis mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ^a“Death is swallowed up in victory.”

55 “O¹^a Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?”

56 The sting of death is sin, and ^athe strength of sin is the law.

put on—as a garment (II Corinthians 5:2-3).

immortality—Here only, besides I Timothy 6:16, the word "immortality" is found. Nowhere is the immortality of the soul, distinct from the body, taught; a notion which many erroneously have derived from heathen philosophers. Scripture does not contemplate the anomalous state brought about by death, as the consummation to be earnestly looked for (II Corinthians 5:4), but the resurrection.
