1 Corinthians 15:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ If our hope in Christ is for this life only, we should be pitied more than ·anyone else in the world [^Lall people].

²⁰ But Christ has truly been raised from the dead—the ·first one and proof that those who sleep in death will also be raised [^Lfirstfruits of those who have fallen asleep; ^Cunlike others who had been raised to mortal life, Christ was the first to be raised to everlasting life]. ²¹ Death has come ·because of what one man did [through a man/human being], but the rising from death also comes ·because of one man [through a man/human being].
