1 Corinthians 15:20-26

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Order of Resurrection

²⁰ But now Christ ^(A)has been raised from the dead, the ^(B)first fruits of those who ^(C)are asleep. ²¹ For since ^(D)by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. ²² For ^(E)as in Adam all die, so also in ^[a]Christ all will be made alive. ²³ But each in his own order: Christ ^(F)the first fruits, after that ^(G)those who are Christ’s at ^(H)His coming, ²⁴ then comes the end, when He hands over ^(I)the kingdom to the ^(J)God and Father, when He has abolished ^(K)all rule and all authority and power. ²⁵ For He must reign ^(L)until He has put all His enemies under His feet. ²⁶ The last enemy that will be ^(M)abolished is death.
