1 Corinthians 15:53-58

New International Version

⁵³ For the perishable^(A) must clothe itself with the imperishable,^(B) and the mortal with immortality. ⁵⁴ When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”^[a](C)

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin,^(E) and the power of sin is the law.^{(F) 57} But thanks be to God!^(G) He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.^(H)

⁵⁸ Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,^(I) because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.^(J)
