1 Corinthians 15:21
Compare all
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.  
28 aNow when all things are made subject to Him, then bthe Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

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.
