ess the
kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.
15:51. Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but
we shall not all be changed.
15:52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for
the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall rise again incorruptible. And
we shall be changed.
15:53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortal
must put on immortality.
15:54. And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to
pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
15:55. O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?
15:56. Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law.
15:57. But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
15:58. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable:
always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is
not in vain in the Lord.

16:5. Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through
Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia.
16:6. And with you perhaps I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that
you may bring me on my way whithersoever I shall go.
16:7. For I will not see you now by the way: for I trust that I shall
abide with you some time, if the Lord permit.
16:8. But I will tarry at Ephesus, until Pentecost.
16:9. For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many
adversaries.
16:10. Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear: for he
worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
16:11. Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct ye him on his way
in peace, that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brethren.
16:12. And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand that I
