54 Death, you have lost the battle. Death, your power to hurt us is gone.
55 Death hurts us because we are bad people. And our wrong ways are so strong because of the law.
56 But I thank God that he gives us power to stop being wrong through our Lord Jesus Christ.
57 So, my dear brothers, stand strong. Do not be moved from what you believe. Work hard for the Lord. You know that your work for the Lord will not be for nothing.
