52In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed.
53For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life.
54But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.
55O death, where is your power? O death, where are your pains?
56The pain of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
57But praise be to God who gives us strength to overcome through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.
