1 Corinthians 15:55 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The apostle, in the contemplation of this blessed day, triumpheth over death, in a metaphorical phrase: Where is thy sting? What hurt canst thou now do unto believers, more than a wasp, or hornet, or bee, that hath lost its sting? O grave, or O hell, (the same word signifieth both), where now is thy victory? The conqueror of all flesh is now conquered, the spoiler of all men is spoiled; it had got a victory, but now, O death, where is thy victory?

1 Corinthians 15:55

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave,c where is thy victory?
