 All who loses behalf hi. 
 Here. And Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the Gospel of God. 3 Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 4 Hath in due time manifested his Word through preaching, 5 According to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after bis nobleconcience; 6 Even us, who have believed, unto the justification of life. For by faith, Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten Son, 7 Whom he foresaw, and of whom he spake afterward, saying, That he would loosen the Gentiles, and enlarge their border; 8 And behold, now I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall be there; 9 And they that shall come after me, shall not come unto me: and they of them that shall come, shall not know me. 10 Howbeit, I tell you the mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 11 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and we shall be changed. 12 For the trumpet shall sound, and we shall be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised, deceased, and they that are alive shall be changed: 13 For this corruptible must put on in corruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 14 So when this corruptible shall have put on in corruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be fulfilled that which is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 15 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
