1 Corinthians 15:54-55
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
54 [a]And when this which is corruptible clothes itself with incorruptibility and this which is mortal clothes itself with immortality, then the word that is written shall come about:(A)
“Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”(B)
Footnotes
- 15:54–55 Death is swallowed up in victory: scripture itself predicts death’s overthrow. O death: in his prophetic vision Paul may be making Hosea’s words his own, or imagining this cry of triumph on the lips of the risen church.
1 Corinthians 15:54-55
New King James Version
54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: (A)“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
