1 Corinthians 15:42

15:42 It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable.

1 Corinthians 15:53-54

15:53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. 15:54 Now when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will happen,

Death has been swallowed up in victory.


tn Grk “it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.” The “it” refers to the body, as v. 44 shows.
