50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Share4Christ - You Will Face Trials, But Be Encouraged

"The righteous person faces many troubles, but the LORD comes to the rescue each time" Psalms 34:19, New Living Translation.

If you are facing a real challenge in your life, don't think something is wrong with you or your salvation. Don't think God has turned His back on you. He is with you and He is for you.

Maybe other you see appear as if they aren't going through anything at all. But the truth is, as long as we are on this side of eternity, we will have many trials, many sorrows and many tribulations. But the Lord says, "Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. Take heart! Take courage! Believe in Me! My Spirit lives within you, and I am teaching you how to overcome obstacles and live victoriously.

You will have peace and know that I have a plan. You will walk in joy despite your current circumstance. You will face many troubles, but I will come to your rescue each time.

Read 1 Corinthians 15:56-58;

2 Corinthians 2:14, JOHN 16:33

devotion by Kesha Trippett

You will face trials, but be encouraged.

"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world" John 16:33, New Living Translation.

"The righteous person faces many troubles, but the LORD comes to the rescue each time" Psalms 34:19, New Living Translation.

If you are facing a real challenge in your life, don't think something is wrong with you or your salvation. Don't think God has turned His back on you. He is with you and He is for you. Maybe other sisters you see appear as if they aren't going through anything at all. But the truth is, as long as we are on this side of eternity, we will have many trials, many sorrows and many tribulations. But the Lord says, "Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. Take heart! Take courage! Believe in Me! My Spirit lives within you, and I am teaching how to overcome obstacles and live victoriously. You will have peace and know that I have a plan. You will walk in joy despite your current circumstance. Through every trial, I am deepening your trust in Me and I am strengthening your faith."

Luke 1:49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. Luke 1:50 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. Luke 1:51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. Luke 1:52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. Luke 1:53 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. Luke 1:54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful Luke 1:55 to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.” Luke 1:56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

1 Corinthians 15:54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 1 Corinthians 15:55 “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” 1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Luke 22:52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? Luke 22:53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour—when darkness reigns.” Luke 22:54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. Luke 22:55 And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. Luke 22:56 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.” Luke 22:57 But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said. Luke 22:58 A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” “Man, I am not!” Peter replied. Luke 22:59 About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.” Luke 22:60 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. Luke 22:61 The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” Luke 22:62 And he went outside and wept bitterly. Luke 22:63 The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him.

Psalm 56:11 In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, Psalm 56:12 In God I trust; I am not afraid; what can man do to me? Psalm 56:13 I must pay my vows to You, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

Isaiah 7:16 For before the lad knows to reject the bad and choose the good, the ground whose two kings you dread shall be abandoned. Isaiah 7:17 The Lord will cause to come upon you and your people and your ancestral house such days as never have come since Ephraim turned away from Judah--that self-same king of Assyria! Isaiah 7:18 In that day, the Lord will whistle to the flies at the ends of the water channels of Egypt and to the bees in the land of Assyria; Isaiah 7:19 and they shall all come and alight in the rugged wadis, and in the clefts of the rocks, and in all the thornbrakes, and in all the watering places. Isaiah 7:20 In that day, my Lord will cut away with the razor that is hired beyond the Euphrates--with the king of Assyria--the hair of the head and the hair of the legs, and it shall clip off the beard as well.

The Assyrian Church of the East (ACOE), sometimes called Church of the East, officially the Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East (HACACE), is an Eastern Christian church that follows the traditional Christology and ecclesiology of the historical Church of the East. It belongs to the eastern branch of Syriac Christianity, and employs the Divine Liturgy of Saints Addai and Mari belonging to the East Syriac Rite. Its main liturgical language is Classical Syriac, a dialect of Eastern Aramaic, and the majority of its adherents are ethnic Assyrians. The Assyrian Church of the East considers itself as the continuation of the Church of the East, a church that originally developed among the Assyrians during the first century AD in Assyria, Upper Mesopotamia and northwestern Persia, east of the Byzantine Empire. It is an apostolic church established by Thomas the Apostle, Addai of Edessa, and Bartholomew the Apostle. (Wikipedia)

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English): Pages 916 and 917: Isaiah 31:4 For thus the Lord has said to me: As a lion--a great beast--Growls over its prey And, when the shepherds gather In force against him, Is not dismayed by their cries Not cowed by their noise--So the Lord of Hosts will descend to make war Against the mount and the hill of Zion. Isaiah 31:5 Like the birds that fly, even so will the Lord of Hosts shield Jerusalem, shielding and saving, protecting and rescuing Isaiah 31:6 Return, O children of Israel to Him to whom they have been so shamefully false; Isaiah 31:7 for in that day everyone will reject his idols of silver and idols of gold, which your hands have made for your guilt.

The Black House was a building that formerly stood at 6114 California St. in San Francisco, California, in the United States. The house was used by Anton LaVey as the headquarters of his Church of Satan from 1966 until his death in 1997. LaVey conducted Satanic seminars and rituals at the house; one of the most notorious such rituals was the Satanic baptism of his daughter Zeena Schreck in 1967, punctuated by LaVey speaking the words "Hail Zeena! Hail Satan!" over the nude body of a female acting as the 'Satanic Altar'. Public ceremonies were performed at the house until 1972. LaVey lost ownership of the house in 1991 as the result of a court settlement resulting from his separation from Diane Hegarty, but LaVey was allowed to reside at the Black House until his death from poor health, increasing paranoia, and a pulmonary edema on October 29, 1997 at St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco, CA. Following LaVey's death, members of the Church of Satan unsuccessfully attempted to raise funds to repurchase the house, and it was demolished on October 17, 2001. A duplex now stands in its place.

Touch: "Pilot" (alternatively "Tales of the Red Thread") is the first episode of Touch. It originally aired in a special preview event held January 25, 2012, on FOX.

"Today we'll send over 300 billion e-mails 19 billion text messages. Yet we'll still feel alone. The average person will say 2,250 words to 7.4 other individuals. Will these words be used to hurt or to heal? The ratio is always the same. 1 to 1.618, over and over and over again. The patterns are hidden in plain sight. You just have to know where to look. Things most people see as chaos actually follow subtle laws of behavior. Galaxies, plants, seashells. The patterns never lie. But only some of us can see how the pieces fit together. 7,080,360,000 of us live on this tiny planet. This is the story of some of those people. There's an ancient Chinese myth about the Red Thread of Fate. It says the gods have tied a red thread around every one of our ankles and attached it to all the people whose lives we're destined to touch. This thread may stretch, or tangle, but it'll never break. It's all predetermined by mathematical probability, and it's my job to keep track of those numbers, to make the connections for those who need to find each other, the ones whose lives need to touch. I was born 4,161 days ago, on October 26, 2000. I've been alive for 11 years, 4 months, 21 days and 14 hours. And in all that time I've never said a single word." - Jake/Jacob/Israel Bohm

A Web search leads Jake's father, Martin, to the Teller Institute, a rundown home at 318 West Tesla Street. Arthur Teller explains that, on his own, Jake discovered the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical ratio concerning patterns repeated in nature: a wave's curve, a shell's spiral, segments of a pineapple. Jake sees vast connections that amount to road maps, and it's Martin's job, his destiny, to follow them for Jake.

"Imagine the unspeakable beauty of the universe he sees! No wonder he doesn't talk." - Arthur Teller on Jacob/Israel Bohm

In the 2012 television series Touch, season 1, episode 9, "Music of the Spheres", Jacob "Jake" Bohm, a mute boy who mysteriously feels the suffering of those along his path and aims to positively adjust their fates, is revealed as possibly one of the "Lamed Vav Tzadikim" by a Hasidic man. In the second season of Touch, Jake and other people who have special gifts are referred to as members of the 36; throughout the episodes they are exploited for their capabilities and are hunted down by one who believes they hold too much power. The final episode features consideration of the Kabbalah and the mystical roots of the legend of the 36.

Lamedvavnik (Yiddish: למד־װאָװניק), is the Yiddish term for one of the 36 humble righteous ones or Tzadikim mentioned in kabbalah or Jewish mysticism. According to this teaching, at any given time there are at least 36 holy persons in the world who are Tzadikim. These holy people are hidden; i.e., nobody knows who they are. According to some versions of the story, they themselves may not know who they are.

For the sake of these 36 hidden saints, God preserves the world even if the rest of humanity has degenerated to the level of total barbarism. This is similar to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Hebrew Bible, where God told Abraham that he would spare the city of Sodom if there was a quorum of at least 10 righteous men. Since nobody knows who the Lamedvavniks are, not even themselves, every Jew should act as if he or she might be one of them; i.e., lead a holy and humble life and pray for the sake of fellow human beings. It is also said that one of these 36 could potentially be the Jewish Messiah if the world is ready for them to reveal themselves. Otherwise, they live and die as an ordinary person. Whether the person knows they are the potential Messiah is debated. (Wikipedia)

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 822 and 823: 2 Kings 18:28 And the Rabshakeh stood and called out in a loud voice in Judean: "Hear the words of the Great King, the King of Assyria. 2 Kings 18:29 Thus said the king: Don't let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you from my hands. 2 Kings 18:30 Don't let Hezekiah make you rely on the Lord, saying: The Lord will surely save us: this city will not fall into the hands of the king of Assyria. 2 Kings 18:31 Don't listen to Hezekiah. For thus said the king of Assyria: Make your peace with me and come out to me, so that you may all eat from your vines and your fig trees and drink water from your cisterns, 2 Kings 18:32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own, a land of grain [fields] and vineyards, of bread and wine, of olive oil and honey, so that you may live and not die. Don't listen to Hezekiah, who misleads you by saying, 'The Lord will save us.' 2 Kings 18:33 Did any of the gods of other nations save his land from the king of Assyria? 2 Kings 18:34 Where were the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where were the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? [And] did they save Samaria from me? 2 Kings 18:35 Which among all the gods of [those] countries saved their countries from me, that the Lord should save Jerusalem from me?" 2 Kings 18:36 But the people were silent and did not say a word in reply; for the king's order was: "Do not answer him." 2 Kings 18:37 And so Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was in charge of the palace, Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and they reported to him what the Rabshakeh had said. 2 Kings 19:1 When King Hezekiah heard this, he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the House of the Lord. 2 Kings 19:2 He also sent Eliakim, who as in charge of the palace, Shebna the scribe, and the senior priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amor. 2 Kings 19:3 They said to him, "Thus said Hezekiah: This day is a day of distress, of chastisement, and of disgrace. The babes have reached the birthstool, but the strength to give birth is lacking. 2 Kings 19:4 Perhaps the Lord your God will take note of all the words of the Rabashakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to blaspheme the living God, and will mete out judgment for the words that the Lord your God has heard--if you will offer up prayer for the surviving remnant." 2 Kings 19:5 When King Hezekiah's ministers came to Isaiah, 2 Kings 19:6 Isaiah said to them, "Tell your master as follows: Thus said the Lord: Do not be frightened by the words of blasphemy against Me that you have heard from the minions of the king of Assyria. 2 Kings 19:7 I will delude him; he will hear a rumor and return to his land, and I will make him fall by the sword in his land."

The Resurrection Body

What will our resurrection bodies be like? [vs 35-44, 49] Answer: Our resurrection bodies will be like “but someone may ask, how are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come? How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as He has determined & to each kind of seed He gives its own body. All flesh is not the same; men have one kind of flesh, animald have another, birds another & fish another. There are also heavenly bodies & there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind & the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has onr kind of splendor, the moon another & the stars another & star differs from star in splendor. So it will be with thr resurrection of the dead. The body that is sow is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body & just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven”

Why is it important that our natural bodies be changed into spiritual, resurrection bodies? [vs 50] Answer: It is important that our natural bodies be changed into spiritual, resurrection bodies because it cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable

When will we have this resurrection bodies? [vs 51-52] Answer: We will have this resurrection bodies when we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound the dead will be raised imperishable & we will be changed

What is the sting of death? [vs 56] Answer: The sting of death is sin

What is the power of sin? [vs 56] Answer: The power of sin is the law

Who gives us the victory over sin and death? [vs 57] Answer: God gives us the victory over sin & death

What should we do, as we wait for our resurrection bodies? [vs 58] Answer: We should stand firm, as we wait for our resurrection bodies

What is the lesson you learned for today? Answer: The lesson that I learned today is those believer who are still alive will have their bodies immediately transformed & made imperishable & immortal

The Coming Judgment

1 Now, beloved, I am writing this second epistle to you; in both, I am stirring up your pure minds by causing you to remember 2 In order for you to be mindful of the words that were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Savior, spoken by us, the apostles;

3 Knowing this first, that in the last days there will come mockers, walking according to their own personal lusts, 4 And asking, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the forefathers died, everything has remained the same as from the beginning of creation.” 5 But this fact is hidden from them– they themselves choosing to ignore it– that by the Word of God the heavens existed of old, and the earth came forth out of water and amid water, 6 By which the world at that time, having been deluged with water, had itself been destroyed. 7 But the present heavens and earth are being held in store by His Word, and are being reserved for fire in the day of the judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

8 Now, beloved, do not let this one fact be hidden from you: that with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not delaying the promise of His coming, as some in their own minds reckon delay; rather, He is longsuffering toward us, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 However, the day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night in which the heaven itself shall disappear with a mighty roar, and the elements shall pass away, burning with intense heat, and the earth and the works in it shall be burned up.

11 Since all these things are going to be destroyed, what kind of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 Looking forward to and striving for the coming of the day of God, during which the heavens, being on fire, shall be destroyed, and the elements, burning with intense heat, shall melt? 13 But according to His promise, we look forward to a new heaven and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

14 For this reason, beloved, since you are anticipating these things, be diligent, so that you may be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless. 15 And bear in mind that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation, exactly as our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has also written to you; 16 As he has also in all his epistles, speaking in them concerning these things; in which are some things that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable are twisting and distorting, as they also twist and distort the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 Therefore, beloved, since you know this in advance, be on guard against such practices, lest you be led astray with the error of the lawless ones, and you fall from your own steadfastness; 18 Rather, be growing in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and into the day of eternity. Amen. — 2 Peter 3 | A Faithful Version (AFV) Holy Bible, A Faithful Version © 2020 A Faithful Version. All Rights Reserved.

Our Final Victory

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I tell you a [a]mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For 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 this 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: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

55 “O[b] Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”

56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Prophecy; 

Revelation

How to (properly) Read The Bible:

Start off with the gospels in this order:

1. John 2. Mark 3. Matthew 4. Luke

These books teach you about who Jesus is and the works that he has done (physically present on Earth).

Then you're going to read in this order:

5. Genesis 6. Exodus 7. Leviticus  8. Numbers 9. Deuteronomy

These books will teach you about the fall of man, God's chosen people the Israelites and the law (all sins).

Then you're going to move over to the New Testament once more and read from this order:

10. Romans 11. Galatians  12. Colossians 

These books are basically an extended teach about the law, about Jesus' sacrifices, and what it means to us and a few tips about how to be a Christian and how to walk with the Holy Spirit. 

Then read:

13. Proverbs 14. Ecclesiastes (talks about the meaning of life)

This is sort of a break from reading but it will be filled with Godly wisdom.

Then you're going to read:

15. Job 16. 1 Peter

This will teach you about things that will happen to you as a Christian, and that you should not follow God for your own self ambition (selfishness).

Then read:

17. 1 Corinthians  18. 2 Corinthians 19. Ephesians 20. Philippians  21. 1 Thessalonians  22. 2 Thessalonians 23. 1 Timothy 24. 2 Timothy 25. James 26. 2 Peter 27. 1 John 28. 2 John 29. 3 John 30. Jude  31. Psalms

These books teach you how to be a Christian (once more), a few end time prophecies, who God is, how he acts, what he will do for you, his promises, and his personality. 

Then read from this order:

32. Joshua 33. Judges 34. 1 Samuel 35. 2 Samuel 36. 1 Kings 37. 2 Kings 38. 1 Chronicles 39. 2 Chronicles 40. Ezra  41. Nehemiah  42. Jeremiah  43. Lamentations 44. Ezekiel 45. Joel 46. Amos 47. Obadiah  48. Nahum 49. Habakkuk  50. Zephaniah 51. Haggai 52. Zechariah 53. Malachi 54. Micah 55. Hosea 

These teach you about God and his personality, his interactions with the world, the rise and fall of the Israelites, their betrayals of God and his attempts to bring them back to him, and a few end time prophecies. 

Then read:

56. Ruth 57. Esther 58. Jonah 59. Song Of Solomon 60. Acts 61. Titus 62. Philemon

This is a bit of a reading break. It has a few stories, love songs, and some church history. 

Then you're going to read in this order:

 63. Hebrews (Why things had to happen the way that they did) 64. Isaiah (Prophecies for Jesus, end time prophecies, a little bit about heaven and Lucifer) 65. Daniel (end time prophecies) 66. Revelation (end time prophecies)

That will be all.  Thanks for having me.

A Lie Refuted with Scripture

1 Corinthisns 15:56-58 also puts the “all are forgiven at the Cross” lie into its rightful perspective, but I guess the “BUT” mentioned in verse 57 means absolutely NOTHING. There are none so blind as those who DON’T WANT TO SEE… 😫 1 Corinthians 15:56-58 – Authorised Version The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. [57] But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory…

1 Corinthians 15:29-58

29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? 30 And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour? 31 I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,

“Let us eat and drink,    for tomorrow we die.”

33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.

The Resurrection Body

35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” 36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. 41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.

If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.

50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

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

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
