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
International Standard Version
54 Now, when what is decaying is clothed with what cannot decay, and what is dying is clothed with what cannot die, then the written word will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up by victory!”[a]
55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”[b]
56 Now death’s stinger is sin, and sin’s power is the Law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus the Messiah![c]
58 Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, unmovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that the work that you do for the Lord isn’t wasted.
