Read in context

1 Corinthians 15:49–53 · Berean Standard Bible

49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.

50 Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

52 in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

53 For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
