54 When this perishable has clothed itself with imperishability and this mortal has clothed itself with immortality, then will come to pass the word that is written, "Death has been swallowed up in victory.
55 O Death, where is thy victory? O Death, where is thy sting?"
56 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!
