Commentators emphasize that Paul is quoting the prophet Isaiah (25:8) to prove his point. The future resurrection isn't a new idea but the ultimate fulfillment of God's long-standing promise. This event, when our mortal bodies become immortal, will fully accomplish what was foretold, confirming the reliability of Scripture.
