²² For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall ^(A)be made alive. ²³ But ^(B)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 ^(C)the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. ²⁵ For He must reign ^(D)till He has put all enemies under His feet. ^26 (E)The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. ²⁷ For ^(F)“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.

^47 (A)The first man was of the earth, ^(B)made^[a] of dust; the second Man is ^[b]the Lord ^(C)from heaven.

⁴⁹ And ^(A)as we have borne the image of the man of dust, ^(B)we^[a] shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

²⁰ Now then, we are ^(A)ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. ²¹ For ^(B)He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become ^(C)the righteousness of God in Him.
