1 CORINTHIANS 15:57 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ — Paul's resolution: God grants victory (níkê) through Christ. The subjunctive shifts from condemnation to gratitude; the believer's victory is secured in Christ's resurrection.
Church Fathers on 1 Corinthians 15:57
“But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” For the trophy He Himself erected, but the crowns He has caused us also to partake of. And this not of debt, but of mere mercy.
