^42 (A)So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown ^[a](B)a perishable body, it is raised ^[b](C)an imperishable body;

The Mystery of Resurrection

⁵⁰ Now I say this, brethren, that ^(A)flesh and blood cannot ^(B)inherit the kingdom of God; nor does ^[a]the perishable inherit ^[b](C)the imperishable.

⁵³ For this ^[a]perishable must put on ^[b](A)the imperishable, and this ^(B)mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ But when this ^[c]perishable will have put on ^[d]the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “^(C)Death is swallowed up in victory. ^55 (D)O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” ⁵⁶ The sting of ^(E)death is sin, and ^(F)the power of sin is the law; ⁵⁷ but ^(G)thanks be to God, who gives us the ^(H)victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

^58 (I)Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in ^(J)the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

²⁴ Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ ^[a]with incorruptible love.

¹⁰ but ^(A)now has been revealed by the ^(B)appearing of our Savior ^(C)Christ Jesus, who ^(D)abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
