⁴² So is it with the coming back from the dead. It is planted in death; it comes again in life:

⁴³ Then will the upright be shining as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him give ear.

³ And those who are wise will be shining like the light of the outstretched sky; and those by whom numbers have been turned to righteousness will be like the stars for ever and ever.

²¹ That all living things will be made free from the power of death and will have a part with the free children of God in glory.

⁴ And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you,

²⁰ For our country is in heaven; from where the Saviour for whom we are waiting will come, even the Lord Jesus Christ:

²¹ By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.

⁵⁰ Now I say this, my brothers, that it is not possible for flesh and blood to have a part in the kingdom of God; and death may not have a part in life.

⁵¹ See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed.

⁵² In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed.

⁵³ For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life.

⁵⁴ But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.

²³ And by them the glory of the eternal God was changed and made into the image of man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and things which go on the earth.

³⁴ And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of David.

³⁵ Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction.

³⁶ Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction:

³⁷ But he, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction.

³¹ He, having knowledge of the future, was talking of the coming again of Christ from the dead, that he was not kept in hell and his body did not see destruction.

²⁷ For you will not let my soul be in hell and you will not give up your Holy One to destruction.

³⁵ But those to whom is given the reward of the world to come, and to come back from the dead, have no wives, and are not married;

³⁶ And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

¹⁷ See, in place of peace my soul had bitter sorrow. but you have kept back my soul from the underworld; for you have put all my sins out of your memory.

¹⁴ Death will give them their food like sheep; the underworld is their fate and they will go down into it; their flesh is food for worms; their form is wasted away; the underworld is their resting-place for ever.

¹⁰ For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.

¹⁴ If I say to the earth, You are my father; and to the worm, My mother and my sister;

¹⁹ With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.

⁹ So that he might have eternal life, and never see the underworld.
