54 But when this perishable nature has put on what is imperishable, and this mortality has put on immortality, then will the words of Scripture be fulfilled, »Death has been swallowed up in victory.«
55 »Where, O death, is thy victory? Where, O death, is thy sting?«
56 Now sin is the sting of death, and sin derives its power from the Law;
57 but God be thanked who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
