20. But now Christ is risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of those that slept.
21. For since by a man came death, by a man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22. For as in Adam all die, even so in the Christ shall all be made alive.
23. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward, those that are Christ’s at his coming.
24. Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25. For he must reign until he has put all enemies under his feet.
26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27. For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is clear that he is excepted, who did put all things under him.
28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also subject himself unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29. Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30. And why do we stand in jeopardy every hour?
31. I die daily to stay in the glory of having taught you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32. If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what does it advantage me, if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die.
33. Be not deceived: evil companions corrupt good character.
