In the context of <a href="/1_corinthians/15.htm">1 Corinthians 15</a>, Paul has been discussing the resurrection of the dead and the ultimate defeat of death. The Greek word for "thanks" is "χάρις" (charis), which can also mean grace or favor. This expression of gratitude is directed towards God, acknowledging His sovereign role in the plan of salvation. Historically, thanksgiving to God is a central theme in Jewish and Christian worship, reflecting a heart of gratitude for His providence and mercy.<p><b>who gives us the victory</b><br />The Greek word for "gives" is "δίδωμι" (didōmi), which implies a continuous action, suggesting that God continually grants us victory. "Victory" comes from the Greek "νῖκος" (nikos), a term often used in the context of military conquest. In the historical context of the Roman Empire, victory was a familiar concept, often celebrated with great pomp. However, Paul redefines victory not as a temporal or earthly conquest but as a spiritual triumph over sin and death. This victory is not earned by human effort but is a divine gift, emphasizing the grace and power of God in the believer's life.<p><b>through our Lord Jesus Christ</b><br />The preposition "through" (Greek "διά," dia) indicates the means or agency by which the victory is achieved. "Our Lord Jesus Christ" is a profound declaration of faith, recognizing Jesus not only as Savior but as Lord, affirming His divinity and authority. The title "Christ" (Greek "Χριστός," Christos) means "Anointed One," signifying Jesus as the promised Messiah. Historically, the early church faced persecution and challenges, and this affirmation of Jesus as Lord was both a theological and a political statement, asserting allegiance to Christ above all earthly powers. The victory through Jesus is comprehensive, encompassing His death, resurrection, and eventual return, providing believers with hope and assurance of eternal life.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_corinthians/15.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(57) <span class= "bld">But thanks be to</span> <span class= "bld">God.</span>--The future is so certain that the Apostle speaks of it as a subject for present thanksgiving; the victory is one which God gives now through Jesus Christ. His resurrection is the pledge of our resurrection. His death is the power by which we are enabled to conquer that lower self, from whose crucifixion and death we shall rise to the higher incorruptible life of the resurrection day. With this earnest and enthusiastic expression of praise to God the argument concludes. Through arguments historical, moral, philosophical; through explanations from the analogy of Nature, and from the theology of Old and New Testament history, the Apostle has led his readers, vindicating the truth and illustrating the manner of the Resurrection of the Dead. He projects his mind into the future, and, standing in thought with ransomed and raised Humanity after death has been vanquished and the grave been spoiled, he joins in the shout of triumphant praise which shall then ascend to Christ and God.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_corinthians/15.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 57.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory.</span> 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 (<a href="/colossians/2-14.htm">Colossians 2:14</a>).
