King James Version (public domain)

Traditionally attributed to Paul · 1st century AD · Thirteen epistles of the New Testament are traditionally attributed to him

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

Context

49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
