160. “For since by one man,” he says,
“came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the
firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s, who have believed
in His coming. Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered
up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He shall have put down all
rule and authority and power. For He must reign until He hath put
all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be
destroyed is death; for He hath put all things under His
feet. But when He saith, all things
are put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted Which did put all
things under Him. But when all things shall be subdued unto Him,
then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him, that put all
things under Him, that God may be all in all.” 1 Cor. xv. 21–28. Thus also the same Apostle said
to the Hebrews: “But now we see not yet all things put
under Him.” Heb. ii. 8. We have
heard the whole of the Apostle’s discourse.
