1 Corinthians 15:20-28

New King James Version

The Last Enemy Destroyed

²⁰ But now ^(A)Christ is risen from the dead, and has become ^(B)the firstfruits of those who have ^[a]fallen asleep. ²¹ For ^(C)since by man came death, ^(D)by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. ²² For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall ^(E)be made alive. ²³ But ^(F)each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. ²⁴ Then comes the end, when He delivers ^(G)the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. ²⁵ For He must reign ^(H)till He has put all enemies under His feet. ^26 (I)The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. ²⁷ For ^(J)“He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. ^28 (K)Now when all things are made subject to Him, then ^(L)the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.
