1 Corinthians 15:20-28

New International Version

²⁰But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,^(A) the firstfruits^(B) of those who have fallen asleep.^(C) ²¹For since death came through a man,^(D) the resurrection of the dead^(E) comes also through a man. ²²For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.^(F) ²³But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits;^(G) then, when he comes,^(H) those who belong to him.^(I) ²⁴Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom^(J) to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.^(K) ²⁵For he must reign^(L) until he has put all his enemies under his feet.^(M) ²⁶The last enemy to be destroyed is death.^(N) ²⁷For he “has put everything under his feet.”^[a]^(O) Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.^(P) ²⁸When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him,^(Q) so that God may be all in all.^(R)

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.
