1 John 3:2

2Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.


Colossians 3:4

4When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.


1 Corinthians 15:42-56

42So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable. 43It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

45So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.”The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual. 47The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven. 48As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s[+] also bear the image of the heavenly. 50Now I say this, brothers,[+] that flesh and blood cant inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.

51Behold,[+] I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. 53For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”55Death, where is your sting? Hades,[+] where is your victory?”

56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.


Romans 8:29

29For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

19Your dead shall live. Their dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.


John 11:24-26

24Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

25Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. 26Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”


Matthew 28:18

18Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.


Matthew 17:2

2He was changed[+] before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.


Ephesians 1:19-20

19and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might 20which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,


John 5:25-29

25Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live. 26For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself. 27He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. 28Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
