1 Corinthians 15:49-54 GW (49) As we have worn the likeness of the man who was made from the dust of the earth, we will also wear the likeness of the man who came from heaven. (50) Brothers and sisters, this is what I mean: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. What decays cannot inherit what doesn't decay. (51) I'm telling you a mystery. Not all of us will die, but we will all be changed. (52) It will happen in an instant, in a split second at the sound of the last trumpet. Indeed, that trumpet will sound, and then the dead will come back to life. They will be changed so that they can live forever. (53) This body that decays must be changed into a body that cannot decay. This mortal body must be changed into a body that will live forever. (54) When this body that decays is changed into a body that cannot decay, and this mortal body is changed into a body that will live forever, then the teaching of Scripture will come true: "Death is turned into victory!
1 Corinthians 15:49-54 BBE (49) And in the same way as we have taken on us the image of the man from the earth, so we will take on us the image of the one from heaven. (50) Now I say this, my brothers, that it is not possible for flesh and blood to have a part in the kingdom of God; and death may not have a part in life. (51) See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed. (52) In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed. (53) For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life. (54) But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.
1 Corinthians 15:49-54 ESV (49) Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. (50) I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. (51) Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, (52) in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. (53) For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this 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: "Death is swallowed up in victory."
1 Corinthians 15:49-54 GNB (49) Just as we wear the likeness of the man made of earth, so we will wear the likeness of the Man from heaven. (50) What I mean, friends, is that what is made of flesh and blood cannot share in God's Kingdom, and what is mortal cannot possess immortality. (51) Listen to this secret truth: we shall not all die, but when the last trumpet sounds, we shall all be changed in an instant, as quickly as the blinking of an eye. For when the trumpet sounds, the dead will be raised, never to die again, and we shall all be changed. (52) (SEE 15:51) (53) For what is mortal must be changed into what is immortal; what will die must be changed into what cannot die. (54) So when this takes place, and the mortal has been changed into the immortal, then the scripture will come true: "Death is destroyed; victory is complete!"

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
