1 Corinthians 15:24

When he shall have put down all rule.— Shall have abolished, or deposed. The word καταργεομαι generally signifies divesting a thing of some power, whether lawful or usurped, which it formerly had, and of reducing it to an incapacity of exerting that power any more. Thus it is used of Satan, Hebrews 2:14 of death, here and 1 Corinthians 15:26 of temporal princes, 2 Timothy 1:10 and 1 Corinthians 1:28; 1 Corinthians 2:6 and of the ceremonial law, Ephesians 2:15.
