1 Corinthians 15:54-57
“But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will come to pass: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “Oh death, where is your sting? Oh Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
The apostle Paul is writing to the church in Corinth, a bustling Roman city, around the mid-1st century CE. In this chapter, he's addressing questions and doubts some members had about the resurrection of the dead, explaining its central importance to their faith.
What does 'victory over death' mean for how we live with human limitations and mortality now?
