What does 1 Corinthians 15:57 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
57. to God--The victory was in no way due to ourselves (Psa 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. The repetition of the word (1Co 15:54, 55) is appropriate to the triumph gained.

Barnes' Notes
Verse 57. But thanks be to God. Rom 7:25.

Which giveth 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. Rom 7:25; Rom 8:37.

(d) "be to God" Rom 7:25 (e) "through our" Rom 8:37, 1Jn 5:4,5

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.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:51-58

All the saints should not die, but all would be changed. In the gospel, many truths, before hidden in mystery, are made known. Death never shall appear in the regions to which our Lord will bear his risen saints. Therefore let us seek the full assurance of faith and hope, that in the midst of pain, and in the prospect of death, we may think calmly on the horrors of the tomb; assured that our bodies will there sleep…
