1 Corinthians 15:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ If we have set our hopes on the Messiah^[a] in this life only, we deserve more pity than any other people.

²⁰ But at this moment the Messiah^[b] stands risen from the dead, the first one offered in the harvest^[c] of those who have died.^{[d] 21} For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also came through a man.
