1 Corinthians 15:20-28
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.
