1 CORINTHIANS 15:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
1 Cor 15:241 Cor 15:26
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet — Christ's reign is active now but provisional: he subdues hostile forces until victory is complete. The 'must' (dei) expresses divine necessity.

Church Fathers on 1 Corinthians 15:25

“For He must reign, till He has put all enemies under His feet.” Again from hence also another absurdity is produced, unless we take this also in a way becoming Deity. For the expression “until,” is one of end and limitation: but in reference to God, this does not exist.
