1 Corinthians 15:19-26

New International Version

¹⁹ If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.^(A)

²⁰ But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,^(B) the firstfruits^(C) of those who have fallen asleep.^{(D) 21} For since death came through a man,^(E) the resurrection of the dead^(F) comes also through a man. ²² For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.^{(G) 23} But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits;^(H) then, when he comes,^(I) those who belong to him.^{(J) 24} Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom^(K) to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.^{(L) 25} For he must reign^(M) until he has put all his enemies under his feet.^{(N) 26} The last enemy to be destroyed is death.^(O)
