1 Corinthians 15:56

The sting of death [is] sin. It is sin that gives death his power to sting and destroy. See Ro 6:23.

The power of sin [is] the law. The law, broken, is sin, and when this law is consciously broken the conscience is wounded. When a moral law is broken, moral death follows. If there was no law of any kind, there would be no sin, no wounded consciences, no moral death. See Ro 7:7.
