54. 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. where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?'
56. and the sting of the death [is] the sin, and the power of the sin the law;
57. and to God--thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
58. 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.
