The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:56 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
Cyril of Jerusalem
AD 386
Baptism destroys the sting of death. For you descend into the water laden with your sins. But the invocation of grace causes your soul to receive this seal, and after that it does not lead you to be swallowed up by the dread dragon. You go down “deadly indeed in sin,” and you come up “alive unto righteousness.”
