A Comprehensive Victory
Commentators explain that the "victory" Paul celebrates is comprehensive. It's not just a future triumph over the grave, but a present victory over sin (which is death's "sting") and the law (which gives sin its power). As John Calvin notes, Christ conquered sin and redeemed us from the curse of the law, meaning death no longer holds ultimate power over believers.
