1 Corinthians 15:50-53

Christ Is Risen, the Dead Will Be Raised, and Death Will Be Destroyed

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

50Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

52in an instant, 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.

53For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
