New International Version NIV
55 "Where, Death, is your victory? Where, Death, is your power to hurt?"
55
“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”
56 Death gets its power to hurt from sin, and sin gets its power from the Law.

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
57
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 So then, my dear friends, stand firm and steady. Keep busy always in your work for the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord's service is ever useless.
58
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
