1 Corinthians 15:20-28

New American Standard Bible

The Order of Resurrection

²⁰But the fact is, Christ ^(A)has been raised from the dead, the ^(B)first fruits of those who ^(C)are asleep. ²¹For since ^(D)by a man death came, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. ²²For ^(E)as in Adam all die, so also in ^[a]Christ all will be made alive. ²³But each in his own order: Christ ^(F)the first fruits, after that ^(G)those who are Christ’s at ^(H)His coming, ²⁴then comes the end, when He hands over ^(I)the kingdom to our ^(J)God and Father, when He has abolished ^(K)all rule and all authority and power. ²⁵For He must reign ^(L)until He has put all His enemies under His feet. ²⁶The last enemy that will be ^(M)abolished is death. ²⁷For ^(N)He has put all things in subjection under His feet. But when He says, “^(O)All things are put in subjection,” it is clear that ^[b]this excludes the Father who put all things in subjection to Him. ²⁸When ^(P)all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that ^(Q)God may be all in all.

The Last Enemy Destroyed

²⁰But now ^(A)Christ is risen from the dead, and has become ^(B)the firstfruits of those who have ^[a]fallen asleep. ²¹For ^(C)since by man came death, ^(D)by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. ²²For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall ^(E)be made alive. ²³But ^(F)each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. ²⁴Then comes the end, when He delivers ^(G)the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. ²⁵For He must reign ^(H)till He has put all enemies under His feet. ²⁶^(I)The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. ²⁷For ^(J)“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. ²⁸^(K)Now when all things are made subject to Him, then ^(L)the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.
