1 Corinthians 15:19-26

English Standard Version

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

²⁰ But in fact ^(B)Christ has been raised from the dead, ^(C)the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. ²¹ For as ^(D)by a man came death, ^(E)by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. ²² For ^(F)as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. ²³ But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then ^(G)at his coming ^(H)those who belong to Christ. ²⁴ Then comes the end, when he delivers ^(I)the kingdom to God the Father after destroying ^(J)every rule and every authority and power. ²⁵ For he must reign ^(K)until he has put all his enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy to be ^(L)destroyed is death.
