So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:54 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Thus, since he was speaking of great and secret things, he again takes prophecy Hosea 13:14 to confirm his word. Death is swallowed up in victory: i.e., utterly; not so much as a fragment of it remains nor a hope of returning, incorruption having consumed corruption.
