1Cor.15.55  "O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?"
1Cor.15.56  The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Rev.9.5  they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man.
Rev.9.10  They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power of hurting men for five months lies in their tails.
