… after he has destroyed every rule and authority and power, because it is necessary for him to reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. and the last enemy to be destroyed is death because God has put everything under his feet. Now, when it says everything, it is clear that this does not include God himself who put everything under Christ. But when all things are made subject to Christ, put in service to Christ, then Christ the Son himself will also be put in service to him who put all things under him. So that God may be all in all, everything, for everyone. Paul continues. But someone will ask, How are the dead raised? What kind of body do they come with? Foolish person. What you sow does not come to life unless it first dies. and what you sow into the ground is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, a grain of wheat or something.

But when it says all things are put in subjection, it is plain that he is accepted who put all things in subjection under him.
