"but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." — 1 Corinthians 15:57 (ASV)
But thanks be to God (See Barnes on Romans 7:25).
Which gives us the victory. Us who are Christians; all Christians. The victory over sin, death, and the grave. God alone is the author of this victory. He formed the plan; he executed it in the gift of his Son; and he gives it to us personally when we come to die.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ. By his death, thus destroying the power of death; by his resurrection and triumph over the grave; and by his grace imparted to us to enable us to sustain the pains of death, and giving to us the hope of a glorious resurrection (See Barnes on Romans 7:25; See Barnes on Romans 8:37).
