1 Corinthians 15:26

15:26 The last enemy to be eliminated is death.

1 Corinthians 15:54-58

15:54 Now when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will happen,

“Death has been swallowed up in victory.” ¹ 

15:55 “Where, O death, is your victory?

Where, O death, is your sting?” ² 

15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! 15:58 So then, dear brothers and sisters, ³  be firm. Do not be moved! Always be outstanding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
