Either way, the grave, as you pointed out or "place of departed souls" (hell) does not prevail against the church.

From G1 (as a negative particle) and G1492; properly unseen, that is, “Hades” or the place (state) of departed souls: - grave, hell. |
However Hades is translated still proves my point. Hell, the grave, the place of departed souls nor the place of torment can prevail against us. We are victorious through Christ.
