58 Days of Easter – 1 Corinthians 15:54

As a way to prepare for Easter, I invite you to join me on a 58 day journey through the 58 verses of 1 Corinthians 15 in Greek. At this point, there will no longer be any videos or PowerPoint PDFs, though I may finish those at some later time in the future.

1 Corinthians 15:54

54 ὅταν δὲ τὸ φθαρτὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσηται ἀφθαρσίαν καὶ τὸ θνητὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσηται ἀθανασίαν, τότε γενήσεται ὁ λόγος ὁ γεγραμμένος· κατεπόθη ὁ θάνατος εἰς νῖκος.

54 And when this perishable (body) puts on imperishability and (when) this mortal (body) puts on immortality, then the word which has been spoken will happen: “Death was swallowed up in victory.”
