Augustine of Hippo, on 1Cor 15:55
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
1Cor 15:55 · Douay-Rheims
“O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?”
On this verse:
“Because human nature was subjected to an enemy as the just desert of sin, man must first be rescued from his power, that he might find him. Then if his life in this flesh is prolonged, he is assisted in the conflict that he may overcome the enemy. And finally the victor will be beatified, that he may reign, and at the very end he will ask: "Death, where is thy devouring?".”
