19. If our hope in Christ is good only for this life, we are worse off than anyone else.
20. But Christ has been raised to life! And he makes us certain that others will also be raised to life.
21. Just as we will die because of Adam, we will be raised to life because of Christ.
22. Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us.
23. But we must each wait our turn. Christ was the first to be raised to life, and his people will be raised to life when he returns.
