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?
