• " The end," being the epoch of the delivery of the kingdom in which He is to judge, must be after all judgment is over, and still more after the rest of the dead were raised in order to be judged. It is in this way, then, that the resurrection of the wicked is not expressed but involved; not in the blessed life-giving resurrection which is for His own, but in that exertion of His power which characterizes His kingdom (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 15:20-28” by W. Kelly)
• With the kingdom is introduced the power of Christ exercised over all things-a different thought entirely from the communication of life to His own. There are three steps therefore in these events: first, the resurrection of Christ; then, the resurrection of those who are His, at His coming; afterwards, the end, when He shall have given up the kingdom to the Father. (“1 Corinthians 15” by J.N. Darby)
• "The end," being the epoch of the delivery of the kingdom in which He is to judge, must be after all judgment is over, and still more after the rest of the dead were raised in order to be judged. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 15:20-28” by W. Kelly)

Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him who is God and Fatherc; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.

JND Translation Notes

c
It is almost impossible to render the Greek idiom, which unites with one article either two qualities of the same person, or two persons under the same quality. But I prefer this awkward English to "God, even the Father," because this phrase is uncertain in doctrine, and might be used as meaning that the Father only is God, which is not the sense.

W. Kelly Translation

24
then the enda, when he giveth up the kingdom to him [who isb] God and Father, when he shall have done away all rule, and all authority, and power.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Not a class, but an epoch, is meant by "the end"; an epoch subsequent to the resurrection of the wicked and their judgment.
b
"To God even the Father," in the KJV is not a happy rendering; and still less is "to God the Father"; because both tend to lower the Son, as if the Father only were God, or as if the Father might be all in all, whereas it is really God (i.e., Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Hence "to him that is God and Father" appears less objectionable.
