1 Corinthians 15:24–28
In the end he hands the kingdom to the Father, and God will be all in all

25For he must reign until he has put all the enemies under his feet.
26The last enemy is being done away with: death.
27For he subjected all things under his feet. But when he says all things have been subjected, it is clear that this is apart from the one who subjected all things to him.
28And when all things have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected all things to him, so that God may be all in all.

30Why are we also in danger every hour?
