53. This body that will ruin must clothe itself with something that will never ruin. And this body that dies must clothe itself with something that will never die.
54. So this body that ruins will clothe itself with that which never ruins. And this body that dies will clothe itself with that which never dies. When this happens, then this Scripture will be made true:
55. “Death, where is your victory?Death, where is your power to hurt?” Hosea 13:14
56. Death’s power to hurt is sin. The power of sin is the law.
57. But we thank God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58. So my dear brothers, stand strong. Do not let anything move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord. You know that your work in the Lord is never wasted.
