Theophylact of Ohrid

Commentary on 1 Corinthians (1107)

The Lord Jesus fought the contest, and to us the victory was given — not by merit, not by obligation, but by the grace and love of God the Father, Who made us victors through the contest of His Son.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

But thanks be to God; - See the notes at 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.
