Book of Mormon Mormon 7:5

"the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ"

Shared words: the sting of death

'sting of death' occurs at exactly three Book of Mormon verses: Mosiah 16:8, Alma 22:14, Mormon 7:5 -- the fourth corpus locus since the New-Testament freeze is 1 Corinthians 15:56 ('The sting of death is sin'), registered as ae-w1-05 — all three couple it with the grave's defeated victory and the verb 'swallowed up.' Mormon's closing testimony to the remnant (7:5-7) restates Abinadi's resurrection triumph (Mosiah 16:7-8): the grave's victory reversed, the sting swallowed. The third corpus leg is Aaron's summary to Lamoni's father, 'the sting of death should be swallowed up in the hopes of glory' (Alma 22:14), registered as alma-aaron-grave-sting (Alma 22:14 ↔ Mosiah 16:7) on aaron-son-of-mosiah.md — that record's note already flags Mosiah 16:8 as the 'swallowed up' carrier; this record grounds the third and final locus, closing the sting-of-death family in-corpus. 'swallowed up' alone is common (15 Book of Mormon verses; 29 corpus-wide); 'sting of death… swallowed up' is the distinctive unit.
