1 Corinthians 15:56 in Context — 1 Corinthians 15

54 Y cuando esto corruptible fuere vestido de incorrupción, y esto mortal fuere vestido de inmortalidad, entonces se efectuará la palabra que está escrita: Sorbida es la muerte con victoria.

55 ¿Dónde está, oh muerte, tu aguijón? ¿dónde, oh sepulcro, tu victoria?

56 Ya que el aguijón de la muerte es el pecado, y la potencia del pecado, la ley.

57 Mas á Dios gracias, que nos da la victoria por el Señor nuestro Jesucristo.

58 Así que, hermanos míos amados, estad firmes y constantes, creciendo en la obra del Señor siempre, sabiendo que vuestro trabajo en el Señor no es vano.
