 Paul's point is, when the believer finally gets that new transformed body, then death will have been victoriously conquered. In fact, Paul is so confident this event's going to happen, that we're going to be changed and get this new body, that he actually mocks death in verse 55 when he says, Oh, death, where is your victory? Oh, death, where is your sting? And if we remember that Paul literally said, I face death daily.
