Anyone out there want to blog?

Anyone out there want to blog? I am blogging on 3 sites. I assign myself projects, then I write, post, and wait for the visit counters to start spinning.

My visitors come from

I blog about the things that are of interest to bible study fellow brothers and sisters, bible college or seminary level researchers. I do Greek and Hebrew word studies with quotes and bibliographies. I am not afraid to deal with verses that could be used to spark a doctrinal argument. I once posted an article with a 36 line bibliography. If you are a fellow blogger send me a post and I will post it on my blog as a guest blogger's post. I will give you credit for it, and provide my readers with your blog site link. If you are a pastor or bible student who wants to test their latest sermon ideas out on my readers, email the sermon to me and it will become a guest pastors or bible students sermon or project. My readers like the posts with the long bibliographies. I am Rick Livermore and my blog is https://ricklivermoreonlinereader.blogspot.com . I am inviting you to contribute a

of the over all blog publication and teaching that is happening here

Use the contact us form to contribute a "portion" of the things happening here. I will hopefully inspire you to someday establish your very own publication / blogging installation. I know you see ads on the blog, please do not assume that means I will pay you out of my advertising income. I could discuss that subject for hours but for simplicity lets drop it now. There is no money to be made at the level of volume I am currently at and the future does not look like the level of volume will increase but instead will stay the same or even decline over time. I am not doing what I am doing for the money. If you come on this site and post a blog you will not get paid. I will allow you to share with the world that you posted a guest blog on my site, which makes you a published blogger which is kind of like being a published author.
I look forward to publishing some great stuff for you. If you quote someone and I happen to own that resource also, and you do not know all the bibliography info, just include as much as you can and I will do the rest of the research. My bibliography database is 5600 rows in an excel spreadsheet but I also search online when necessary. If you don't know, there are four categories that need to go into each bibliography, The title, the author, the year it was first published, and the publisher. If you read my bibliographies on this site, you may find I provide web site urls, other publishers names for the same thing, other publishers years for the same thing as well as plenty of additional info. I do that because I own a digital library of duplicated items that I included on the same bibliography.

For example I have the 3 volume Treasury of David and the 5 volume Treasury of David Both by Charles Spurgeon. Both are in my Quickverse library, Then I have it again for free with Blue Letter Bible, And I have it in WordSearch because Wordsearch bought Quickverse and gives owners tech support to continue to be able to use the resources. Here is what my spreadsheet shows anytime I need to log the reference:

Worthy is Lamb Word study on Greek word for Holy

This is what we sing when we are approaching God in Worship keeping in mind the Greek word study on the English word "Holy"

HOLINESS, HOLY, HOLILY

A. Nouns.

1. hagiasmos (ἁγιασμός, 38), translated “holiness” in the KJV of Rom. 6:19, 22; 1 Thess. 4:7; 1 Tim. 2:15; Heb. 12:14, is always rendered “sanctification” in the RV. It signifies (a) separation to God, 1 Cor. 1:30; 2 Thess. 2:13; 1 Pet. 1:2; (b) the resultant state, the conduct befitting those so separated, 1 Thess. 4:3, 4, 7, and the four other places mentioned above. “Sanctification” is thus the state predetermined by God for believers, into which in grace He calls them, and in which they begin their Christian course and so pursue it. Hence they are called “saints” (hagioi). See SANCTIFICATION.¶

Note: The corresponding verb hagiazo denotes “to set apart to God.” See HALLOW, SANCTIFY.

2. hagiosune (ἁγιωσύνη, 42) denotes the manifestation of the quality of “holiness” in personal conduct; (a) it is used in Rom. 1:4, of the absolute “holiness” of Christ in the days of His flesh, which distinguished Him from all merely human beings; this (which is indicated in the phrase “the spirit of holiness”) and (in vindication of it) His resurrection from the dead, marked Him out as (He was “declared to be”) the Son of God; (b) believers are to be “perfecting holiness in the fear of God,” 2 Cor. 7:1, i.e., bringing “holiness” to its predestined end, whereby (c) they may be found “unblameable in holiness” in the Parousia of Christ, 1 Thess. 3:13.¶

“In each place character is in view, perfect in the case of the Lord Jesus, growing toward perfection in the case of the Christian. Here the exercise of love is declared to be the means God uses to develop likeness to Christ in His children. The sentence may be paraphrased thus:—The Lord enable you more and more to spend your lives in the interests of others, in order that He may so establish you in Christian character now, that you may be vindicated from every charge that might possibly be brought against you at the Judgment-seat of Christ;’ cf. 1 John 4:16, 17.”*

3. hagiotes (ἁγιότης, 41), “sanctity,” the abstract quality of “holiness,” is used (a) of God, Heb. 12:10; (b) of the manifestation of it in the conduct of the apostle Paul and his fellowlaborers, 2 Cor. 1:12 (in the best mss., for haplotes).¶

4. hosiotes (ὁσιότης, 3742) is to be distinguished from No. 3, as denoting that quality of “holiness” which is manifested in those who have regard equally to grace and truth; it involves a right relation to God; it is used in Luke 1:75 and Eph. 4:24, and in each place is associated with righteousness.¶

Notes: (1) In Acts 3:12, the KJV translates eusebeia, by “holiness,” RV, “godliness,” as everywhere, the true meaning of the word. See GODLINESS. (2) In Titus 2:3, KJV, hieroprepes, which denotes “suited to a sacred character, reverent,” is rendered “as becometh holiness,” RV, “reverent.” See REVERENT.¶

B. Adjectives.

1. hagios (ἅγιος, 40), akin to A, Nos. 1 and 2, which are from the same root as hagnos (found in hazo, “to venerate”), fundamentally signifies “separated” (among the Greeks, dedicated to the gods), and hence, in Scripture in its moral and spiritual significance, separated from sin and therefore consecrated to God, sacred.

(a) It is predicated of God (as the absolutely “Holy” One, in His purity, majesty and glory): of the Father, e.g., Luke 1:49; John 17:11; 1 Pet. 1:15, 16; Rev. 4:8; 6:10; of the Son, e.g., Luke 1:35; Acts 3:14; 4:27, 30; 1 John 2:20; of the Spirit, e.g., Matt. 1:18 and frequently in all the Gospels, Acts, Romans, 1 and 2 Cor., Eph., 1 Thess.; also in 2 Tim. 1:14; Titus 3:5; 1 Pet. 1:12; 2 Pet. 1:21; Jude 20.

(b) It is used of men and things (see below) in so far as they are devoted to God. Indeed the quality, as attributed to God, is often presented in a way which involves divine demands upon the conduct of believers. These are called hagioi, “saints,” i.e., “sanctified” or “holy” ones.

This sainthood is not an attainment, it is a state into which God in grace calls men; yet believers are called to sanctify themselves (consistently with their calling, 2 Tim. 1:9), cleansing themselves from all defilement, forsaking sin, living a “holy” manner of life, 1 Pet. 1:15; 2 Pet. 3:11, and experiencing fellowship with God in His holiness. The saints are thus figuratively spoken of as “a holy temple”, 1 Cor. 3:17 (a local church); Eph. 2:21 (the whole Church), cp. 5:27; “a holy priesthood,” 1 Pet. 2:5; “a holy nation,” 2:9.

“It is evident that hagios and its kindred words … express something more and higher than hieros, sacred, outwardly associated with God; … something more than semnos, worthy, honorable; something more than hagnos, pure, free from defilement. Hagios is … more comprehensive.… It is characteristically godlikeness” (G. B. Stevens, in Hastings’ Bib. Dic.).

The adjective is also used of the outer part of the tabernacle, Heb. 9:2 (RV, “the holy place”); of the inner sanctuary, 9:3, RV, “the Holy of Holies”; 9:4, “a holy place,” RV; v. 25 (plural), of the presence of God in heaven, where there are not two compartments as in the tabernacle, all being “the holy place”; 9:8, 12 (neuter plural); 10:19, “the holy place,” RV (KJV, “the holiest,” neut. plural), see SANCTUARY; of the city of Jerusalem. Rev. 11:2; its temple, Acts 6:13; of the faith. Jude 20; of the greetings of saints, 1 Cor. 16:20; of angels, e.g., Mark 8:38; of apostles and prophets, Eph. 3:5; of the future heavenly Jerusalem, Rev. 21:2, 10; 22:19.

2. hosios (ὅσιος, 3741), akin to A, No. 4, signifies “religiously right, holy,” as opposed to what is unrighteous or polluted. It is commonly associated with righteousness (see A, No. 4). It is used “of God, Rev. 15:4; 16:5; and of the body of the Lord Jesus, Acts 2:27; 13:35, citations from Ps. 16:10, Sept.; Heb. 7:26; and of certain promises made to David, which could be fulfilled only in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, Acts 13:34. In 1 Tim. 2:8 and Titus 1:8, it is used of the character of Christians.… In the Sept., hosios frequently represents the Hebrew word chasid, which varies in meaning between ‘holy’ and ‘gracious,’ or ‘merciful;’ cf. Ps. 16:10 with 145:17.”*

Notes: (1) For Acts 13:34, see the RV and the KJV marg.; the RV in Rev. 16:5, “Thou Holy One,” translates the most authentic mss. (KJV “and shalt be”). (2) For hieros (see No. 1), subserving a sacred purpose, translated “holy” in 2 Tim. 3:15, KJV (of the Scriptures), see SACRED.

C. Adverb.

hosios (ὁσίως, 3743), akin to A, No. 4, and B, No. 2, “holily,” i.e., pure from evil conduct, and observant of God’s will, is used in 1 Thess. 2:10, of the conduct of the apostle and his fellow missionaries.¶

D. Verb.

hagiazo (ἁγιάζω, 37), “to hallow, sanctify,” in the passive voice, “to be made holy, be sanctified,” is translated “let him be made holy” in Rev. 22:11, the aorist or point tense expressing the definiteness and completeness of the divine act; elsewhere it is rendered by the verb “to sanctify.” See HALLOW, SANCTIFY.

Yachtsman220 commentary is in this color group

Hello everyone,

For this week, we will continue to establish the foundation for Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Read
Gal 1:1-8
again, this time reflect on our discussions and understanding of Paul’s transformation, who he was, what he became and why. More importantly, reflect on how his transformation came to be. Think about God’s “will” and authority through Paul.

Read Gal 1:1:8

Gal 1:6

1:1–5 The letter to the Galatians was written around AD 48–57 by the Apostle Paul, perhaps with contributions from some of his fellow missionaries (Gal 1:1–2). [2]

1:1 Paul Formerly known as Saul of Tarsus (Acts 7:58; 9:11), Paul became an apostle of Jesus Christ and was a prominent figure in the growth of the early church (see note on Rom 1:1). [3]

[an apostle See note on Ro 1:1.

not from men nor by men False teachers were accusing Paul of commissioning himself as an apostle; an illegitimate apostleship would discredit his preaching of the gospel and his missionary efforts (compare Gal 2:2). Paul distinguishes himself from the false teachers by emphasizing that God and Christ—not humans—sent him as an apostle.[4]

1:2 brothers with me Paul often mentions his coworkers at the beginning of his letters (e.g., 1 Cor 1:1; 2 Cor 1:1; Phil 1:1; Col 1:1; 1 Thess 1:1; Phlm 1). Here Paul refers to several believers without naming specific individuals, perhaps to highlight the strong support he had from the community of believers.

Galatia A region in central Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey).

Galatia
Paul visited several cities in the region of Galatia during his missionary journeys. While the number of churches Paul addresses in Galatians is unknown, the letter suggests they were predominantly Gentiles—that is, non-Jews (Gal 2:8, 14; 4:8–9; 6:13). The exact location of Galatia remains uncertain. It might refer to the territory in north-central Asia Minor inhabited by the Gauls beginning in the third century BC, or the southern area of Asia Minor that Paul visited during his first missionary journey.

1:3 Grace to you and peace This brief greeting summarizes Paul’s gospel message. It is God’s work, through Christ on our behalf, that brings us into a harmonious relationship with God and one another.

1:4 gave himself for our sins Refers to Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross.

present evil age Jewish people divided history into two major sections: the present age, in which God’s rule is not fully established (and evil persists), and the coming age, when God will complete His rule as King. For Christians, the sacrificial death of Christ enables believers to live under God’s rule in the present age. For this reason (and others), the deeds Paul affiliates with the flesh (sinful acts) are inappropriate for the people of God (Gal 5:19–21).

1:5 glory forever and ever. Amen Expresses the conviction that God is worthy of our unending adoration and worship. The word “amen,” meaning “so be it,” is used to show agreement or endorsement of what is said about God.

1:6–10 At this point in his letters, Paul typically offers a prayer of thanksgiving for his audience (Rom 1:8; 1 Cor 1:4; Phil 1:3). But with the Galatians, there is no cause for thanksgiving; they have turned to a different gospel. [5]

1:6 the one who called you Refers to God, not Paul (Gal 5:8).[6]

Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 4 Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

For cI will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”[8]

The LORD also declares to you that the LORD will make a house for you. 12 "When your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come forth from you, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 "He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 "I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; when he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men, 15 but My lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 "Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever."'" 17 In accordance with all these words and all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

Isa 49:8 — Thus says the LORD, "In a favorable time I have answered You, And in a day of salvation I have helped You; And I will keep You and give You for a covenant of the people, To restore the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages;

Isa 55:3 — "Incline your ear and come to Me. Listen, that you may live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, According to the faithful mercies shown to David.

Jer 31:31-34 — "Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them," declares the LORD. 33 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 "They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the LORD, "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."

Jer 32:38-41 — "They shall be My people, and I will be their God; 39 and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good and for the good of their children after them. 40 "I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me. 41 "I will rejoice over them to do them good and will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.

Eze 37:25-27 — "They will live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons and their sons' sons, forever; and David My servant will be their prince forever. 26 "I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forever. 27 "My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be My people.

Eze 39:25-29 — Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name. 26 "They will forget their disgrace and all their treachery which they perpetrated against Me, when they live securely on their own land with no one to make them afraid. 27 "When I bring them back from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies, then I shall be sanctified through them in the sight of the many nations. 28 "Then they will know that I am the LORD their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then gathered them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any longer. 29 "I will not hide My face from them any longer, for I will have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel," declares the Lord GOD.

Heb 8:6-13 — But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. 8 For finding fault with them, He says, "BEHOLD, DAYS are coming, SAYS the LORD, WHEN I WILL EFFECT A NEW covenant WITH THE HOUSE of ISRAEL and with the house of JUDAH; 9 NOT LIKE the covenant which I MADE with THEIR FATHERS ON THE DAY when I TOOK them by the hand TO LEAD them out of the land of EGYPT; FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUE in MY COVENANT, AND I DID NOT CARE for them, SAYS the LORD. 10 "FOR THIS is the covenant that I WILL MAKE with the house of ISRAEL AFTER those days, SAYS the LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS into their minds, AND I WILL WRITE them ON THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. 11 "AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH everyone his FELLOW citizen, AND EVERYONE his brother, SAYING, 'KNOW the LORD,' FOR ALL will know ME, FROM THE LEAST to the greatest of them. 12 "FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL to their iniquities, AND I WILL REMEMBER their sins no more." 13 When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.

Heb 10:16 — "THIS is the covenant that I WILL MAKE with them AFTER those days, SAYS the LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS upon their heart, AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE them," He then says,

My spirit

Isa 11:1-3 — Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit. 2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. 3 And He will delight in the fear of the LORD, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;

Isa 61:1-3 — The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; 2 To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, 3 To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

Jn 1:33 — "I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

Jn 3:34 — "For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the Spirit without measure.

Jn 4:14 — but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

Jn 7:39 — But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Ro 8:9 — However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

2Co 3:8 — how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?

2Co 3:17 — Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

2Co 3:18 — But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

my words

Isa 51:16 — "I have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, 'You are My people.'"

Jn 7:16 — So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

Jn 7:17 — "If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.

Jn 8:38 — "I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father."

Jn 17:8 — for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

1Co 15:3-58 — For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; 7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. 12 Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. 15 Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. 20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. 21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, 24 then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death. 27 For HE HAS PUT all things in subjection under HIS FEET. But when He says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. 28 When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all. 29 Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them? 30 Why are we also in danger every hour? 31 I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 32 If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT and drink, FOR TOMORROW we die. 33 Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals." 34 Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. 35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?" 36 You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; 37 and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47 The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH is swallowed up in victory. 55 "O DEATH, WHERE is your victory? O DEATH, where is your sting?" 56 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. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
