So, my Christian friends that I love, you must continue to be strong in your spirits. Do not let anything move you away from your faith. Continue to work hard as you serve the Lord. You know that whatever you do for him will not be useless.

But we thank God! Because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we win against death and its power.

Do not let anyone deceive you. Remember this: ‘If you become a friend of bad people, you also will live in a bad way.’

But God was very kind to me. He helped me to become a different person. And because God has been so kind to me, the result has been great. I have worked harder than all the other apostles. But I could not do that work myself. No, I could only do it because God is kind and he helped me.

‘Death, you can no longer win! Death, you no longer have any power to hurt us!’ Death only has power to hurt us because of our sins. And it is the authority of God's Law that gives power to sins.

Listen to me. I will explain a great secret to you. Not all of us will die, but God will change all of us. It will happen in a short moment, when the last trumpet makes a sound. When that trumpet makes its sound, God will raise up the believers who have died. He will give us bodies that can never die. In that way, he will change all of us.

All people die because of what one man did. That man was Adam. And it is because of another man that people can rise up after death to a new life. That man is Christ. As people, all of us belong to Adam's family. So all of us must die. In the same way, all people who belong to Christ will live again after death.

It must happen in that way. Our bodies that are becoming spoiled must change. They must change into bodies that will never become spoiled. Our bodies that are dying must change into bodies that will never die again.

Christ himself must rule as king until he has won against all his enemies. The last enemy that he must destroy is death.
