23. But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1 Cor. XV, 42. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption:
43. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power:
44. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
1 Cor. XV, 53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56. The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Cor. V, 1. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
