53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?“Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”
56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
