But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Read Chapter 15
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Christ did not win the victory for himself but for our benefit. For when he became a man, he remained God, and by overcoming the devil, he who never sinned gained the victory for us, who were bound in death because of sin. The death of Christ defeated the devil, who was forced to surrender all those who had died because of sin. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
