54 And when the rotting body has been clothed in what can’t decay, and the dying body has been clothed in what can’t die, then this statement in scripture will happen: Death has been swallowed up by a victory.
55 Where is your victory, Death? Where is your sting, Death? (
56 Death’s sting is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.)
57 Thanks be to God, who gives us this victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
58 As a result of all this, my loved brothers and sisters, you must stand firm, unshakable, excelling in the work of the Lord as always, because you know that your labor isn’t going to be for nothing in the Lord.
