1 Corinthians 15:56
_ _ If there were no sin, there would be no death. Man’s transgression of the law gives death its lawful power.
_ _ strength of sin is the law — Without the law sin is not perceived or imputed (Romans 3:20; Romans 4:15; Romans 5:13). The law makes sin the more grievous by making God’s will the clearer (Romans 7:8-10). Christ’s people are no longer “under the law” (Romans 6:14). |
1 Corinthians 15:56
The sting of death is sin — Without which it could have no power. But this sting none can resist by his own strength. And the strength of sin is the law — As is largely declared, Romans 7:7, &c. |
