No I don't believe the Jesus of that bible, he contradicts his own self. I do believe the Jesus of my bible who said "though he WERE DEAD" past tense. not a future death. Your bible version contradicts itself by saying in one sentence, he who believes in Jesus will never die and then in another sentence he says if you do die then you'll live. In the KJV "though he were dead" is talking about the OT saints, they were dead.
Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
The phrase in bold ^ is in the "Subjunctive" mood. This is how I understand the Subjunctive Mood:
[quoting a Greek grammar source]
Subjunctive Mood
The subjunctive mood indicates probability or objective possibility. The action of the verb will possibly happen, depending on certain objective factors or circumstances. It is oftentimes used in conditional statements (i.e. 'If...then...' clauses) or in purpose clauses. However if the subjunctive mood is used in a purpose or result clause, then the action should not be thought of as a possible result, but should be viewed as a definite outcome that will happen as a result of another stated action.
For example: "Let us come forward to the Holy of Holies with a true heart in full assurance of faith." Heb 10:23
"In order that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known through the church..." Eph 3:10

Yes I agree with Paul, we shall not all die, none of us believers nor the believers of Old Testament times have ever died. You are conflating the death of the body that ALWAYS DIES with the believer being with that body at the time of death. Both Jesus and Paul call both of those scenarios DEATH.
And that CONTEXT is speaking to/for/about (specifically) the "WE" of that verse 51! and the "THIS [G5100 - tis ' A CERTAIN ONE'] ____" of vv.53-54! (that is, the SPECIFIC/PARTICULAR/CERTAIN one, "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" either who have "DIED ['THIS CORRUPTIBLE']" and who are STILL-LIVING/ALIVE ['THIS MORTAL']"... at the time-event being spoken of, in this context).
Paul was not given the task of disclosing to US (or the Corinthian church) that which pertained to the OT saints' death/deaths, in this context (but the Eph1:20-23 WHEN [as to its existence] "Church WHICH IS HIS BODY," which is the "WE" and the "THIS [G5100]" in this context ("Behold, I SHEW YOU a mystery"--that he/Paul was tasked with DISCLOSING to/for/about "the Church WHICH IS HIS [Christ's] BODY"--ALL those "saved" IN THIS PRESENT AGE [SINGULAR], to whom the RAPTURE *SOLELY* pertains... [NOT to all other "saints" of all OTHER time periods])
