1 Corinthians Chapter 15, Verse 25
From BibleWiki
25: δει γαρ αυτον βασιλευειν αχρις ου αν θη παντας τους εχθρους υπο τους ποδας αυτου
25: For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his
feet.
25: For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his
feet.
For he must reign. It is fit, or proper, (dei,) that he should reign till this is accomplished. It is proper that the mediator kingdom should continue till this great work is effected. The word "must" here refers to the propriety of this continuance of his reign, and to the fact that this was contemplated and predicted as the work which he would accomplish. He came to subdue all his enemies. See Ps 26ff, Ps 901, "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool." Paul, doubtless, had this passage in his eye as affirming the necessity that he should reign until all his foes should be subdued. That this refers to the Messiah is abundantly clear from Mt 22:44, Mt 22:45.
