The concept is most prominently featured in the New Testament, particularly in the writings of the Apostle Paul.<br><br><b>1. The Sting of Death:</b><br><br>The phrase "sting of death" is found in <a href="/1_corinthians/15-55.htm">1 Corinthians 15:55-56</a>, where Paul writes, "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" . Here, Paul is quoting from the Old Testament, specifically <a href="/hosea/13-14.htm">Hosea 13:14</a>, to emphasize the victory over death achieved through Jesus Christ. The "sting" of death is identified as sin, which brings about spiritual and physical death as a consequence of humanity's fall (Genesis 3). Paul further explains, "The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law" (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-56.htm">1 Corinthians 15:56</a>). This indicates that the law reveals sin and its consequences, but through Christ's resurrection, believers are promised victory over both sin and death.<br><br><b>2. Theological Implications:</b><br><br>Theologically, the "sting" represents the painful and inevitable consequence of sin, which is death. <a href="/romans/6-23.htm">Romans 6:23</a> states, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" . This underscores the belief that sin leads to death, but through faith in Jesus Christ, believers receive the gift of eternal life, thus removing the "sting" of death.<br><br><b>3. Victory Over the Sting:</b><br><br>The victory over the "sting" of death is a central theme in Christian eschatology. The resurrection of Jesus is seen as the pivotal event that conquers death and its sting. In <a href="/1_corinthians/15-57.htm">1 Corinthians 15:57</a>, Paul declares, "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" . This victory is not only a future hope but also a present reality for believers who live in the power of the resurrection.<br><br><b>4. Symbolism and Imagery:</b><br><br>The imagery of a "sting" is powerful, evoking the idea of a sharp, painful experience. In the ancient world, a sting, such as that from a scorpion or a bee, could be dangerous or even deadly. This imagery effectively communicates the serious and harmful nature of sin and death. However, the removal of the sting through Christ's work offers a message of hope and redemption.<br><br><b>5. Practical Application:</b><br><br>For believers, understanding the "sting" of death and its removal through Christ encourages a life of faith and hope. It calls Christians to live in the light of the resurrection, free from the fear of death, and to share this message of victory with others. The assurance of victory over death provides comfort in times of loss and motivates a life of holiness and service.<br><br>In summary, the concept of "sting" in the Bible serves as a metaphor for the consequences of sin and death, which are overcome through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. This victory is central to the Christian faith, offering hope and assurance of eternal life.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (<I>v. t.</I>) Any sharp organ of offense and defense, especially when connected with a poison gland, and adapted to inflict a wound by piercing; as the caudal sting of a scorpion. The sting of a bee or wasp is a modified ovipositor. The caudal sting, or spine, of a sting ray is a modified dorsal fin ray. The term is sometimes applied to the fang of a serpent.<p>2. (<I>n.</I>) A sharp-pointed hollow hair seated on a gland which secrets an acrid fluid, as in nettles. The points of these hairs usually break off in the wound, and the acrid fluid is pressed into it.<p>3. (<I>v. t.</I>) Anything that gives acute pain, bodily or mental; as, the stings of remorse; the stings of reproach.<p>4. (<I>n.</I>) The thrust of a sting into the flesh; the act of stinging; a wound inflicted by stinging.<p>5. (<I>n.</I>) A goad; incitement.<p>6. (<I>n.</I>) The point of an epigram or other sarcastic saying.<p>7. (<I>v. t.</I>) To pierce or wound with a sting; as, bees will sting an animal that irritates them; the nettles stung his hands.<p>8. (<I>v. t.</I>) To pain acutely; as, the conscience is stung with remorse; to bite.<p>9. (<I>v. t.</I>) To goad; to incite, as by taunts or reproaches.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">STING</span><p>sting (parash, "to cut into"; kentron, "a goad," "spur"): A sharp, pointed organ or instrument for inflicting wounds by puncture; sting of an adder, <a href="/proverbs/23-32.htm">Proverbs 23:32</a>; of scorpions, <a href="/revelation/9-10.htm">Revelation 9:10</a>. In the free quotation of <a href="/1_corinthians/15-55.htm">1 Corinthians 15:55</a> from <a href="/hosea/13-14.htm">Hosea 13:14</a>, death is personified as a deadly animal, like a scorpion or serpent, which inflicts destruction by means of sin as its kentron. It should also be remembered that in <a href="/acts/26-14.htm">Acts 26:14</a> the same Greek word is used with reference to an instrument for exciting fear, rather than death. Both figures are pertinent; for death is powerless, except through sin, and, also, when sin is vanquished, the fear of death (<a href="/hebrews/2-15.htm">Hebrews 2:15</a>) is gone.<br><br>H. E.
