1 Corinthians 15:54-58
New American Standard Bible
54 But when this [a]perishable puts on [b]the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written: “(A)Death has been swallowed up in victory. 55 (B)Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” 56 The sting of (C)death is sin, and (D)the power of sin is the Law; 57 but (E)thanks be to God, who gives us the (F)victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 (G)Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in (H)the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

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.
