1 Corinthians 15:20-28
World English Bible
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep. 21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s, at his coming. 24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death. 27 For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.”
1 Corinthians 15:20-28
International Standard Version
20 But at this moment the Messiah[a] stands risen from the dead, the first one offered in the harvest[b] of those who have died.[c] 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also came through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in the Messiah[d] will all be made alive. 23 However, this will happen to each person in the proper order: first the Messiah,[e] then those who belong to the Messiah[f] when he comes. 24 Then the end will come, when after he has done away with every ruler and every authority and power, the Messiah[g] hands over the kingdom to God the Father. 25 For he must rule until God[h] puts all the Messiah’s[i] enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be done away with is death, 27 for “God[j] has put everything under his feet.”[k] Now when he says, “Everything has been put under him,” this clearly excludes the one who put everything under him. 28 But when everything has been put under him, then the Son himself will also become subject to the one who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.
