54 So whenever this corruptible puts on incorruption and this mortal puts on immortality, then this written word will happen: "Death has been swallowed down into victory."*See Isaiah 25:8. This whole paragraph is addressed to "brothers" (verse 50).

55 "Where, O Death, is your sting?

Where, O Hades, is your victory?"*See Hosea 13:14. Hades is not the Lake of fire. Less than 2% of the Greek manuscripts, of objectively inferior quality, have ‘death’, instead of "Hades", to be followed by NIV, NASB, LB, TEV, etc.

56 The stinger of death is sin, and the adjunct of sin is the law.

57 Now thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
