55. “Where, Death, is your victory?Where, Death, is your power to hurt?”
56. Death gets its power to hurt from sin, and sin gets its power from the Law.
57. But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
58. So then, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and steady. Keep busy always in your work for the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord's service is ever useless.
