1 Corinthians 15:58 ASV

⁵⁶  The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:

⁵⁷  but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵⁸  Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.
