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

Study Note
Paul's triumphant taunt — 'where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?' — quotes and adapts Hosea 13:14 in a rhetorical climax to his argument for bodily resurrection. The rhetorical question treats death as a defeated enemy already in the past tense, anticipating the eschatological victory declared in verse 54. The 'sting of death is sin' (verse 56) grounds the metaphor: sin's condemning power gives death its lethal force, and Christ's resurrection has defanged both. Handel's setting of this passage in Messiah ('O Death, where is thy sting?') made it one of the most recognized pieces of biblical poetry in Western musical culture.
