1 Corinthians 15:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be [a]made alive.
23 [b]But every man in his (A)own order: the firstfruits is Christ, afterward, they that are of Christ, at his coming shall rise again.
24 [c]Then shall be the [d]end, when he hath delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he hath put down [e]all rule, and all authority and power.

- 1 Corinthians 15:22 Shall rise by the virtue of Christ.
- 1 Corinthians 15:23 He doeth two things together: for he showeth that the resurrection is in such sort common to Christ with all his members, that notwithstanding he far passeth them, both in time (for he was the first that rose again from the dead) and also in honor, because that from him and in him is all our life and glory. Then by this occasion he passeth in the next argument.
- 1 Corinthians 15:24 The fourth argument, wherewith also he confirmeth the others, hath a most sure ground, to wit, because that God must reign. And this is the manner of his reign, that the Father will be showed to be King in his Son who was made man, to whom all things are made subject (the promiser only except) to the end that the Father may afterward triumph in his Son the conqueror. And he maketh two parts of this reign and dominion of the Son, wherein the Father’s glory consisteth: to wit, the overcoming of his enemies (whereof some must be deprived of all power, as Satan and all the wicked, be they never so proud and mighty, and others must be utterly abolished as death) and a plain and full delivery of the godly from all enemies, that by this means God may fully set forth the body of the Church, cleaving fast to their head Christ, his kingdom and glory as a king in his subjects. Moreover he putteth the first degree of this kingdom in the resurrection of the Son, who is the head: and the perfection, in the full conjunction of the members with the head, which shall be in the latter day. Now all these tend to this purpose, to show that unless the dead do rise again, neither the Father can be King above all, neither Christ be Lord of all: for neither should the power of Satan and death be overcome, nor the glory of God be full in his Son, nor his Son in his members.
- 1 Corinthians 15:24 The shutting up and finishing of all things.
- 1 Corinthians 15:24 All his enemies which shall be spoiled of all the power they have.
