"But someone may ask, how are the death raised? With what kind of body will they come? Listen, I'll tell you a mystery: We will not sleep but we will be changed ? in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet ... for the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will all be changed. So it will be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; so it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body." 1 Corinthians 15.
