1 Corinthians 15:19-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.[a](A) 21 For since death came through a human, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human,(B) 22 for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. 23 But each in its own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power.(C) 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.(D) 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.(E)

19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.(A)
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,(B) the firstfruits(C) of those who have fallen asleep.(D) 21 For since death came through a man,(E) the resurrection of the dead(F) comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.(G) 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits;(H) then, when he comes,(I) those who belong to him.(J) 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom(K) to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.(L) 25 For he must reign(M) until he has put all his enemies under his feet.(N) 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.(O)

1 Corinthians 15:19-26
King James Version
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
