1 Corinthians 15:19-23

New International Version

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)
