1 Corinthians 15:20-25

The Resurrection of the Dead

²⁰ But in fact _f Christ has been raised from the dead, _g the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. ²¹ For as _h by a man came death, _i by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. ²² For _j as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. ²³ But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then _k at his coming _l those who belong to Christ. ²⁴ Then comes the end, when he delivers _m the kingdom to God the Father after destroying _n every rule and every authority and power. ²⁵ For he must reign _o until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
