22. For as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah all will be made alive.
23. But each in his own order: Messiah the first fruits, then those who are Messiah’s, at his coming.
24. Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27. For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
28. When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
29. Or else what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they immersed for the dead?
30. Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31. I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Messiah Yeshua our Lord, I die daily.
32. If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
