Context of 1 Corinthians 15:26
24Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him. 28And when all things shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 26The last enemy - Death, shall be destroyed; , shall be counter-worked, subverted, and finally overturned.

Therefore, the fact that death shall be destroyed assures the fact that there shall be a general resurrection; and…Read the comment

The false systems of religion that had tyrannized over people should be destroyed. The gospel should have spread everywhere, and the world be converted to God.

It is to believers especially this applies (1Co 15:55-57); even in the case of unbelievers, death is done away with by the general resurrection. Satan brought in sin, and sin brought in death!
