1 Corinthians 15

It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you--

Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. 

He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said.

 

And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless.

But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. 

Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life.

 

What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. 

These dying bodies cannot inherit what will last forever.

 

Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: “Death is swallowed up in victory.

O death, where is your victory? 

O death, where is your sting?”
