Bible verse for April 17

⁵¹ Look, I am letting you in on a mystery: not all of us will fall asleep, but all of us will be changed, ⁵² in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the final trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. ⁵³ For this perishable body has to be clothed with imperishability, and this mortal body has to be clothed with immortality. ⁵⁴ When this perishable body has been clothed with imperishability, and this mortal body has been clothed with immortality, then the word that is written will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” ⁵⁵ “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! ⁵⁸ So then, my dear brothers and sisters, be steady and unshakable, always overflowing in the Lord’s work, since you know that the toil you do in the Lord is not wasted.
