1 Corinthians 15:23
Compare all
21 For asince by man came death, bby Man also came the resurrection of the dead.  
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall abe made alive.  
23 But aeach one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.  
24 Then comes the end, when He delivers athe kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.  
25 For He must reign atill He has put all enemies under His feet.  
26 aThe last enemy that will be destroyed is death.  
27 For a“He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.

1 Corinthians 15:23

Order (tagmati). Old military term from tassw, to arrange, here only in N.T. Each in his own division, troop, rank.

At his coming (en th parousiai). The word parousia was the technical word "for the arrival or visit of the king or emperor" and can be traced from the Ptolemaic period into the second century AD (Deissmann, Light from the Ancient East, p. 368). "Advent-coins were struck after a parousia of the emperor." Paul is only discussing "those that are Christ's" (I Corinthians 3:23; Galatians 5:24) and so says nothing about judgment (cf. I Thessalonians 2:19; I Thessalonians 3:13; I Thessalonians 4:15; I Thessalonians 5:23).
