Corinthian Verses Read
Also a portion of l Corinthians, tif-
teenth chapter, verses so to 5S. as fol
lows:
Now this | say, brethren, that flesh
and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom
of Cod: Neither doeth corruption in
merit interruption. Behold. I show
you mystery; we shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed in a mo-
ment, in the twinkIing of an eve, at
the last trump: for the trumpet shall
sound and the dead shall be raised in
corruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on in
corruption and the mortal must put
on immortality. So when this cor
ruptible shall be brought TO pass the
same that is written, death is swal-
lowed up in victory. O death where is
thy sting? grave where is thy vic
tory? 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 We
steadfast. unmovable always abound

much as We know that your labor is
not in vain in the Lord"
