Bonaventure, on 1Cor 15:24

“Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue.”

“Nature dictates jurisdictional obedience according to the state of nature as reparable or repaired, and this in the state of the wayfarer, according to that passage in First Corinthians fifteen: When he shall have brought to nothing all principality, etc.; the Gloss: "As long as the world endures, Angels will preside over Angels, and men over men for the benefit of the living: but when all have been gathered together, then all prelacy will cease, because it will not be necessary." For what nature dictates absolutely has perpetual duration; but it is not so of what nature dictates for a particular state: just as in the state of innocence it dictated that all things should be held in common, which indeed it does not dictate in corrupted nature.”
