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
New Living Translation
54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die,[a] this Scripture will be fulfilled:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.[b]
55 O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?[c]”
56 For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. 57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
