O grave, where is thy sting?O grave, where is thy victory?The sting of death is sin:and the strengh of sin is the law. But thanks be to God which give us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.Therefore,my belove brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch in the work of the Lord, forasmuc as ye know that your labour is not in van in the lord. Hebrews (7) and (18) That by two immutable thinhs, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us; You will see your mother again.
