54 But when this *15:54 Lit corruptibleperishable puts on *15:54 Lit incorruptionthe imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written: "Death has been swallowed up in victory. 55 Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O 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.
