51 Behold, I am telling you a [a](A)mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be (B)changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for (C)the trumpet will sound, and (D)the dead will be raised [b]imperishable, and (E)we will be changed. 53 For this [c]perishable must put on [d](F)the imperishable, and this (G)mortal must put on immortality. 54 But when this [e]perishable puts on [f]the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written: “(H)Death has been swallowed up in victory. 55 (I)Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” 56 The sting of (J)death is sin, and (K)the power of sin is the Law; 57 but (L)thanks be to God, who gives us the (M)victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
