54 When this corruptible body is clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body is clothed with immortality, then the saying that is written will take place:

Death has been swallowed up*in victory.*,*

55 Where, death, is your victory?

Where, death, is your 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!
