54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O Hades, where [is] thy victory?

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.
