1 Corinthians 15:50-58
Paul has been talking about spiritual bodies. There is this idea of the imperishable and the perishable. If the perishable cannot inherit the kingdom of God, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God either. However, Paul goes on to seemingly say the opposite. He says that this perishable body will put on the perishable. Well, he's already established different bodies and is making a different point. This is followed by this quote from Isaiah where death's victory and sting is not found. For the perishable not to receive its end is for death to receive no victory. This victory over death is attributed to God through our Lord Jesus Christ who of course conquered death. We who are perishable will receive new life and victory over death through Jesus, which is what Paul was getting at earlier.
