The sting of death is sin] which brought death into the world (Romans 5:12), and gives it its bitterness: cp. Hebrews 2:14; Hebrews 2:16. And the strength of sin is the law] which reveals sin and, indeed, 'intensifies its power,' without giving power to overcome it (Romans 7:7; Romans 8:2; Romans 8:8). But God giveth us the victory over sin now (Romans 8:1), and hereafter over death (Romans 8:11).

Through our Lord] because Christ has overcome sin, and through faith in Him we, inspired by His Spirit, overcome it also.
