3. I Corinthians 15:20-28
24  Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power  For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet  The last enemy to be destroyed is death  For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him  When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.
