23. But each in its own order: Messiah the firstfruits; then, at His coming, those who belong to Messiah;
24. then the end, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed 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 to be destroyed is death.
27. For God has “put all things in subjection underneath His feet.” But when the psalmist says that “all” has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include God Himself, who put all things under Messiah.
28. Now when all things become subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also become subject to the One who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.
29. Otherwise, what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they immersed for them?
30. And why are we in danger every hour?
31. I die every day—yes, as surely as the boast in you, brothers and sisters, which I have in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
32. If, for human reasons, I fought with “wild animals” at Ephesus, what good is that to me? If the dead are not raised, “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
33. Do not be deceived! “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
34. Come to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning! For some have no knowledge of God—I say this to your shame.
