It is a mouthful. The repetition may read nicely in your mind, but it is difficult to read aloud, at least in NAB.
This morning I was praying the Office for the Dead for Milt and came across the same reading. It's different enough to be more readable. Compare:
53 For that which is corruptible must clothe itself with incorruptibility and that which is mortal must clothe itself with immortality. And when this which is corruptible clothes itself with incorruptibility and this which is mortal clothes itself with immortality, then the word that is written shall come about...
v.
This corruptible body must be clothed with incorruptibility, this mortal body with immortality. When the corruptible frame takes on incorruptibility and the mortal immortality, then will the saying of Scripture be fulfilled..
Which do you prefer?
