1 Corinthians 15:57

55 “O¹^a Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?”

56 The sting of death is sin, and ^athe strength of sin is the law.

57 ^aBut thanks be to God, who gives us ^bthe victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 ^aTherefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing ^bthat your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:57

But thanks be to God - What the law could not do, because it is law, (and law cannot provide pardon), is done by the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: he has died to slay death; he has risen again to bring mankind from under the empire of hades. All this he has done through his mere unmerited mercy; and eternal thanks are due to God for this unspeakable gift. He has given us the victory over sin, Satan, death, the grave, and hell.
