1Cor 15:53-57, 2Cor 5:1, Phili 1:21-23, 2Ti 4:6-8, 2Pe 1:13-15 | ESV | STEP | For this perishable body must put on the imperishable , and this mortal body must put on immortality .

1 Corinthians 15:53-57

53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and ^athis mortal body must put on immortality. 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:

^b“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55 ^c“O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and ^dthe power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, ^ewho gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:1

Our Heavenly Dwelling

1 For we know that if ^fthe tent that is ^gour earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, ^ha house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Philippians 1:21-23

21 For to me ⁱto live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 ^jI am hard pressed between the two. My desire is ^kto depart and ^lbe with Christ, for that is far better.

2 Timothy 4:6-8

6 For ^mI am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my ⁿdeparture has come. 7 ^oI have fought the good fight, ^pI have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is ^qlaid up for me ^rthe crown of righteousness, which the Lord, ^sthe righteous judge, will award to me on ^tthat day, and not only to me but also to all ^uwho have loved his appearing.

2 Peter 1:13-15

13 I think it right, as long as I am in this ^vbody, ^{▼▼Greek tent; also verse 14} ^xto stir you up by way of reminder, 14 ^ysince I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, ^zas our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. 15 And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.
