Some Explaining

From a letter written by the apostle Paul,
with Sosthenes,
to believers in Corinth and everywhere:

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In 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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.-1 Corinthians 15:50-58***Sometime after Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the disciple and apostle, and betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven,  Paul (Saul) was seeking and imprisoning fellow Israelites throughout Jerusalem who believed Jesus to be the Christ. During Paul's journey to the synagogues in Damascus, Syria, Paul and those with him saw a light from heaven flash around them. Paul heard the voice of Jesus speaking to him, and Paul spoke to Jesus, and obeyed Jesus. In Damascus Paul was baptized. From thenceforward, Paul the apostle   taught Israelites and Gentiles, through journeys and divinely inspired letters, to follow and obey Jesus the Christ. Paul explained to the Israelites and Gentiles in Antioch in Pisidia the events surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Paul taught that the Lord God raised Jesus from the dead, and that Jesus' body experienced no corruption, no decay, and that Jesus would never die again. In Athens, Paul explained that the Lord God raised Jesus from the dead, and in a letter to believers in Galatia, and in a letter to believers in Ephesus, and in a letter to believers in Colossae, and in a letter to believers in Thessalonica, and in a letter to believers in Rome, Paul wrote that the Lord God raised Jesus from the dead. Moreover, in the letter to those in Rome, Paul explained that Jesus will never die again, and death no longer has rule over Jesus, and a person shall be saved if they confess the Lord Jesus with their mouth and believe in their heart that the Lord God raised Jesus from the dead. In a letter to believers in Corinth and its surrounding regions, Paul wrote that death came through a man, and the resurrection of the dead has come through a man, and in Adam, the man the Lord God created in the beginning, everyone dies, and in Jesus the Christ everyone will be made alive, and death is the last enemy that will be destroyed.-Genesis 1:1-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon

Reference Scriptures:
 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.-Isaiah 25:8

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.-Philippians 3:20-21

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:-1 Thessalonians 4:16
