New English Translation

1 Corinthians 15:53-58 New English Translation (NET)

53. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.

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.”

55. “Where, O death, is your victory?Where, O death, is your sting?”

56. The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

57. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

58. So then, dear brothers and sisters, 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.
