1 Corinthians 15:54
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1 Corinthians 15:54
When this corruptible puts on incorruption and this mortal puts on immortality, Death is swallowed up in victory. This climactic claim quotes Hosea 13:14 and proclaims ultimate victory over death through Christ.
This verse declares the victory of Christ over sin and death. It consummates the gospel narrative: life defeats death, and believers share in that victory.
Celebrate the reality of victory in daily life. In grief or fear, cling to the promise of defeat of death. Let gratitude fuel generosity, worship, and gospel proclamation. Prepare to live as a people who embody victory, not merely endure life’s trials.
