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.

“Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?
56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! 58 So then, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, because you[a] know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
