Apostol § 160

1 Corinthians 15:20–28

Brethren, Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He shall deliver the Kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For “He hath put all things under His feet.” But when He saith “all things are put under Him,” it is manifest that He who put all things under Him is excepted. And when all things are made subject unto Him, then shall the Son Himself also be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.
