Exegesis
Two parallel temporal clauses introduced by hotan {ὅταν | hó-tan} ‘when, whenever’ each govern a subjunctive verb.
The second clause, hotan katargēsē {ὅταν καταργήσῃ | hó-tan ka-tar-gé-sē} ‘when he might abolish’, takes a threefold coordinated accusative object—pasan archēn {πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν | pâ-san ar-chḗn} ‘every rule’, pasan exousian {πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν | pâ-san ex-ou-sí-an} ‘every authority’, and dynamin {δύναμιν | dý-na-min} ‘power’—which highlights the comprehensive nullification of hostile powers. English renditions employ “comes” and “will come” to reflect the present and future-oriented aspects of the Greek subjunctive and use “hands over,” “gives,” “abolishes,” and “brought…to nothing” to convey the transfer and cessation of divine and adversarial rule.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:24
Then the end comes when He hands over the kingdom to God and Father , after He abolishes every rule and every authority and power.
