Exegesis
The articular noun ho thanatos {ὁ θάνατος | thánatos} 'death' follows as the subject, completing the equative construction "The last enemy is death." The passive voice underscores that death itself is acted upon, reflecting the broader theological theme of divine agency nullifying the power of death in resurrection.
