¹⁴ Then we will no longer be infants,^(A) tossed back and forth by the waves,^(B) and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.^(C)

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church,^(A) his body, of which he is the Savior.

¹⁸ And he is the head^(A) of the body, the church;^(B) he is the beginning and the firstborn^(C) from among the dead,^(D) so that in everything he might have the supremacy. ¹⁹ For God was pleased^(E) to have all his fullness^(F) dwell in him, ²⁰ and through him to reconcile^(G) to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven,^(H) by making peace^(I) through his blood,^(J) shed on the cross.

²⁰ But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,^(A) the firstfruits^(B) of those who have fallen asleep.^{(C) 21} For since death came through a man,^(D) the resurrection of the dead^(E) comes also through a man. ²² For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.^{(F) 23} But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits;^(G) then, when he comes,^(H) those who belong to him.^{(I) 24} Then 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) 25} For he must reign^(L) until he has put all his enemies under his feet.^{(M) 26} The last enemy to be destroyed is death.^{(N) 27} For 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) 28} When 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)
