1 Corinthians 15:26 - Compare All Versions

ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ

The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

And the last enemy to be destroyed is death.

The last enemy to be abolished is death.

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

There is a nice symmetry in this: Death initially came by a man, and resurrection from death came by a man. Everybody dies in Adam; everybody comes alive in Christ. But we have to wait our turn: Christ is first, then those with him at his Coming, the grand consummation when, after crushing the opposition, he hands over his kingdom to God the Father. He won’t let up until the last enemy is down—and the very last enemy is death! As the psalmist said, “He laid them low, one and all; he walked all over them.” When Scripture says that “he walked all over them,” it’s obvious that he couldn’t at the same time be walked on. When everything and everyone is finally under God’s rule, the Son will step down, taking his place with everyone else, showing that God’s rule is absolutely comprehensive—a perfect ending!

The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

The last enemy to be abolished and put to an end is death.

The last enemy to be eliminated is death.
