1 Corinthians 15:54-58
English Standard Version
54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
(A)“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55 (B)“O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and (C)the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, (D)who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 (E)Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in (F)the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord (G)your labor is not in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:54-58
Common English Bible
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.[a]
55 Where is your victory, Death?
Where is your sting, Death?[b]
(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.
