1 Corinthians 15:27 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:24-28

Christ resigning his administration. "Then cometh the end," etc. By the "end" here, I presume, is to be meant the redemptive reign of Christ. It means that when Christ, in the exercise of his mediatorial government, has subjugated all the powers of moral evil, he will deliver up his commission to God, who will then be acknowledged as the absolute Ruler of all. The following are some of the truths that the passage suggests:— I. That THE GOVERNMENT OF OUR WORLD IS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:27

But when he saith. The "he" refers to God. This indirect method of quotation is common in the rabbis. The reference is to Psalms 8:7 ( LXX .), and the words, spoken of man in general, are here Messianically transferred to the federal Head of humanity, the ideal and perfect God Man, Jesus Christ. (For the fuller explanation of the matter, see Hebrews 2:5-10 .) He is excepted, which did put all things under him. So our Lord says, "All things are delivered unto me of my Father" ( ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:27

For he hath put - God has put by promise, purpose, or decree.All things under his feet - He has made all things subject to him; or has appointed him to be head over all things; compare Matthew 28:18; John 17:2; Ephesians 1:20-22. It is evident that Paul here refers to some promise or prediction respecting the Messiah, though he does not expressly quote any passage, or make it certain to what he refers. The “words” “hath put all things under his feet” are found in Psalms 8:6, as applicable to... read more

1 Corinthians 15:25-27. For he must reign Because so it is written, Psalms 110:1; till he God the Father; hath put all enemies under his feet That is, till he hath utterly subdued them to Christ, that he may destroy them. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death That enemy which continues, in some measure, to hold the subjects of Christ under his dominion, even when the temptations of the world, and the malice of Satan, can hold them no longer, and when every remainder of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:12-28

A guarantee of final victory (15:12-28)To those who claim there will be no bodily resurrection of the dead, Paul replies that if this is true it means that Christ has not been raised. In that case the gospel he preaches is not true and the believer’s faith is without foundation (12-14). Furthermore, it means that the preachers of the gospel have misled their hearers. For if Christ has not been raised from the dead, he is certainly not the victorious Saviour. He has not conquered sin; sin has... read more

27. all things—including death (compare Ephesians 1:22; Philippians 3:21; Hebrews 2:8; 1 Peter 3:22). It is said, "hath put," for what God has said is the same as if it were already done, so sure is it. Paul here quotes 1 Peter 3:22- : in proof of his previous declaration, "For (it is written), 'He hath put all things under His feet.'" under his feet—as His footstool (Psalms 110:1). In perfect and lasting subjection. when he—namely, God, who by His Spirit inspired the Psalmist. read more

2. The certainty of resurrection 15:12-34In the preceding paragraph Paul firmly established that the gospel the Corinthians had believed contained the fact that God had raised Jesus Christ bodily, along with other equally crucial facts. Next he proceeded to show the consequences of rejecting belief in the resurrection of the body."Paul uses reductio ad absurdum: if there is no resurrection (i.e., of believers in the future), then Jesus did not rise (1 Corinthians 15:12-13), a point on which he... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 15:20-28

The positive reality 15:20-28Paul turned next to show that the resurrection of Christ makes the resurrection of believers both necessary and inevitable. The consequences of this fact are as glorious as the effects of His not being raised are dismal. Those "in Christ" must arise since Christ arose. His resurrection was in the past, but ours will be in the future. Christ’s resurrection set in motion the defeat of all God’s enemies including death. His resurrection demands our resurrection since... read more
