Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 15:26

_ _ shall beGreek,is done away with” (Revelation 20:14; compare Revelation 1:18). It is to believers especially this applies (1 Corinthians 15:55-57); even in the case of unbelievers, death is done away with by the general resurrection. Satan brought in sin, and sin brought in death! So they shall be destroyed (rendered utterly powerless) in the same order (1 Corinthians 15:56; Hebrews 2:14; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10, Revelation 20:14).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:20-34.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 15:26

The last enemy that is destroyed is death — Namely, after Satan, Hebrews 2:14, and sin, 1 Corinthians 15:56, are destroyed. In the same order they prevailed. Satan brought in sin, and sin brought forth death. And Christ, when he of old engaged with these enemies, first conquered Satan, then sin, in his death; and, lastly, death, in his resurrection. In the same order he delivers all the faithful from them, yea, and destroys these enemies themselves. Death he so destroys that it shall be no more; sin and Satan, so that they shall no more hurt his people.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Corinthians 15:26

The (l) last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.

(l) The conclusion of the argument, which is taken from the whole to the part: for if all his enemies will be put under his feet, then it will necessarily be that death also will be subdued under him.
