1 Corinthians 15:54-58
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
54 And when this decayable body puts-on undecayability, and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying having been written will come-about[a]: “Death was swallowed-up in victory” [Isa 25:8]. 55 “Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your stinger?” [Hos 13:14]. 56 Now the stinger[b] of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law[c]. 57 But thanks be to God, the One giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
So Abound In The Work of The Lord; Your Labor Is Not In Vain
58 So then my beloved brothers, be[d] steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not empty[e] in the Lord.
