1 Corinthians 15:54 Douay-Rheims

And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

Where is death? Seek it in Christ, for it exists no longer. It did exist, and now death is dead. O Life, O Death of death! Be of good heart, death will die in us also. What has taken place in our Head will also take place in his members. Death will die in us also. But when? At the end of the world, at the resurrection of the dead in which we believe and about which we have no doubt.… These are words given to those who triumph, that you may have something to think about, something to sing about in your heart, something to hope for in your heart, something to seek with faith and good works.
