1 Corinthians 15:54

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
52

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Final Resurrection

The verse speaks of a transformation from corruptible to incorruptible and mortal to immortal, which could be interpreted as a spiritual or metaphorical change rather than a literal bodily rising.

Inherent Immortality

The verse speaks of a future transformation where the corruptible and mortal "shall have put on" incorruption and immortality, suggesting these qualities are not inherent but are acquired at a specific point in time, rather than being naturally possessed from the outset.

Conditional Immortality (Hell context)

The verse describes a transformation of the corruptible and mortal into incorruptible and immortal states for those who experience this change, and the subsequent swallowing up of death in victory. It does not explicitly mention or imply the fate of the unsaved, nor does it define immortality as something *only* the saved receive.

Conditional Immortality

This verse describes a future, definitive transformation for those who are already "corruptible" and "mortal," not a condition for receiving immortality. It speaks of a universal outcome for believers, not a conditional state.
