| 28. Linguistic Exegesis The verse begins with hotan {ὅταν | hó-tan} ‘whenever,’ introducing an indefinite temporal clause followed by the aorist passive subjunctive hupotagē {ὑποταγῇ | hu-po-ta-gḗ} ‘be subjected’ with ta panta {τὰ πάντα | tà pán-ta} ‘all things’ as its neuter plural subject. The adverb tote {τότε | tó-te} ‘then’ marks the next eschatological phase, where autos ho huios {αὐτὸς ὁ υἱὸς | au-tós ho hui-ós} ‘the Son Himself’ serves as subject of the future passive hupotagēsetai {ὑποταγήσεται | hu-po-ta-gḗ-se-tai} ‘will be subjected.’ The dative tō hupotaxanti {τῷ ὑποτάξαντι | tṓ hu-po-táx-an-ti} ‘to the One who subjected’ identifies the agent of the prior universal subjection, reinforcing the comprehensive scope with the repetition of autō and ta panta. Finally, the purpose clause introduced by hi-na {ἵνα | hí-na} ‘so that’ with the present subjunctive e {ᾖ | ḗ} ‘may be’ predicates ho Theos {ὁ θεὸς | ho the-ós} ‘God’ as panta en pasin {πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν | pán-ta en pā-sin} ‘all in all,’ highlighting God’s ultimate, all-inclusive sovereignty in this climactic statement. |
