²⁶ For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He ^(A)gave to the Son also to have life in Himself; ²⁷ and He gave Him authority to ^(B)execute judgment, because He is ^[a]the Son of Man. ²⁸ Do not be amazed at this; for ^[b](C)a time is coming when ^(D)all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, ²⁹ and will come out: ^(E)those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the bad deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

⁵ For ^(A)if we have become ^[a]united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be ^[b]in the likeness of His resurrection, ⁶ knowing this, that our ^(B)old ^[c]self was ^(C)crucified with Him, in order that our ^(D)body of sin might be ^[d]done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; ⁷ for ^(E)the one who has died is ^[e]freed from sin.

The Order of Resurrection

²⁰ But the fact is, Christ ^(A)has been raised from the dead, the ^(B)first fruits of those who ^(C)are asleep.

²³ But each in his own order: Christ ^(A)the first fruits, after that ^(B)those who are Christ’s at ^(C)His coming,
