1 Corinthians 15:20-28
New American Standard Bible
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. 21 For since (D)by a man death came, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For (E)as in Adam all die, so also in [a]Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ (F)the first fruits, after that (G)those who are Christ’s at (H)His coming, 24 then 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. 25 For He must reign (L)until He has put all His enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be (M)abolished is death. 27 For (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. 28 When (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.

Disciples’ Literal New Testament
But Christ Has Been Raised As The Firstfruit of Those Yet To Be Raised
20 But now, Christ has been raised from the dead— the firstfruit[a] of the ones having fallen-asleep. 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of dead ones also came through a man. 22 For just as in[b] Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be given-life[c], 23 but each in his own order[d]: Christ the firstfruit; after-that[e] the ones of [f] Christ at His coming. 24 Then[g] comes the end— when He hands-over the kingdom to His God and Father, when He[h] has abolished all[i] rule and all authority and power. 25 For He[j] must reign until which time He[k] has put all the enemies under His feet. 26 Death, the last enemy, is abolished[l]— 27 for “He[m] subjected all things under His[n] feet” [Ps 8:6]. But when He says[o] that “All things have been subjected”, it is clear that this is except the One[p] having subjected all things to Him. 28 But when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One[q] having subjected all things to Him, in order that God may be all things in all.
