{The last enemy that shall be abolished is death}
(eschatos echthros katargeitai ho thanatos). A rather free
translation. Literally, "death (note article, and so subject) is
done away (prophetic or futuristic use of present tense of same
verb as in verse  24 ), the last enemy" (predicate and only one
"last" and so no article as in  1Jo 2:18 ).
