1 Corinthians 15:54-58
New King James Version
54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: (A)“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
56 The sting of death is sin, and (C)the strength of sin is the law. 57 (D)But thanks be to God, who gives us (E)the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 (F)Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing (G)that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

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.
