It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. ¹

You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.

Each competitor must exercise self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.

Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters: ¹  Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

in a moment, in the blinking ¹  of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
