1 Corinthians 15:56-58

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵⁶ Now sin is the sting of death, and sin exercises its power ^[a][upon the soul] through ^[b][the abuse of] the Law.

⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose].
