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.	O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?	The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
