1 Cor 15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
1 Cor 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
1 Cor 15:53 For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Cor 15:54 But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.
1 Cor 15:55 "O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?"
1 Cor 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;
1 Cor 15:57 but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Cor 15:58 ¶ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Cor 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also.

1 Cor 16:7 For I do not wish to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.
1 Cor 16:8 But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost;
1 Cor 16:9 for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
1 Cor 16:10 ¶ Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to be afraid, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I also am.
1 Cor 16:11 So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.
