1 Corinthians 15:54-57

Christ Is Risen, the Dead Will Be Raised, and Death Will Be Destroyed

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “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!
