Compare all
17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; ayou are still in your sins!  
18 Then also those who have1 fallen aasleep in Christ have perished.  
19 aIf in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.  

The Last Enemy Destroyed

20 But now aChrist is risen from the dead, and has become bthe firstfruits of those who have1 fallen asleep.  
21 For asince by man came death, bby Man also came the resurrection of the dead.  
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall abe made alive.  
23 But aeach one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.  
24 Then comes the end, when He delivers athe kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.  
25 For He must reign atill He has put all enemies under His feet.  
26 aThe last enemy that will be destroyed is death.  
27 For a“He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.
