19. If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable.
20. But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22. For 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 they that are Christ's, at his coming.
24. Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25. For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
26. The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
27. For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him.
28. And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.
29. Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
30. Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
