1 Corinthians 15:21

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.

1 Corinthians 15:21

For since by man came death - Mortality came by Adam, immortality by Christ; so sure as all have been subjected to natural death by Adam, so sure shall all be raised again by Christ Jesus. Mortality and immortality, on a general ground, are the subject of the apostle' s reasoning here; and for the explanation of the transgression of Adam, and the redemption by Christ, see the notes on Romans 5:10, etc.
