O grave, where is thy victory?“Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” ⁵⁶The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. ⁵⁷But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
