The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:55-57

Death in idea. "O death, where is thy sting?" etc. These words, which are a shout of victory evoked by what has preceded, suggest to us the popular and the Christian ideas of death. Notice— I. THE POPULAR IDEA . The language implies that the bulk of the race view death not as the writer did; that the idea to them had a "sting" a "victory," and a connection with felt guilt. 1.

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:57

Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory. The victory consists in the defeat of death by the Resurrection, and the forgiveness of sin through Christ's atone-merit, and the nailing to his cross of the torn and abrogated Law which made us slaves to sin and death ( Colossians 2:14 ). "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" ( Romans 8:37 ). Through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 15:56-58

1 Corinthians 15:56-58. The sting of death is sin Which arms it with its greatest terrors, and is attended with a foreboding of future misery, as the effect of the divine displeasure.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:35-58

The resurrection body (15:35-58)Some people mocked the idea of the resurrection by asking how could bodies that have decayed in the earth be raised to life again. Paul answers with an illustration. A seed dies when it is put in the ground, but this is part of the process of bringing forth new life in the form of a plant that grows up out of the ground. What grows up is different from what was buried, but in a sense it is the same thing. It is dry and dead looking when put in the ground, but... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:57

57. to God—The victory was in no way due to ourselves (Psalms 98:1). giveth—a present certainty. the victory—which death and Hades ("the grave") had aimed at, but which, notwithstanding the opposition of them, as well as of the law and sin, we have gained.
