^{54 Ref} But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

^{55 Ref} "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?"

^{56 Ref} The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

^{57 Ref} But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

^{58 Ref} Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord's work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

^{54 Ref} and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, `The Death was swallowed up -- to victory;

^{55 Ref} where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?'

^{56 Ref} and the sting of the death `is' the sin, and the power of the sin the law;

^{57 Ref} and to God -- thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;

^{58 Ref} so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

^{54 Ref} But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.

^{55 Ref} O death, where is your power? O death, where are your pains?

^{56 Ref} The pain of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:

^{57 Ref} But praise be to God who gives us strength to overcome through our Lord Jesus Christ.

^{58 Ref} For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.
