Context of 1 Corinthians 15:57

55‘Death, you can no longer win! Death, you no longer have any power to hurt us!’ 56Death only has power to hurt us because of our sins. And it is the authority of God's Law that gives power to sins. But now we thank God! Because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we win against death and its power. 58So you must continue to be strong in your spirits, my Christian friends that I love. Do not let anything move you away from your faith. Continue to work hard as you serve the Lord. You know that whatever you do for him will not be useless.
