19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most unhappy.
20But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.
21For as by man came death, so by man there is a coming back from the dead.
22For as in Adam death comes to all, so in Christ will all come back to life.
23But every man in his right order: Christ the first-fruits; then those who are Christ's at his coming.
24Then comes the end, when he will give up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have put an end to all rule and to all authority and power.
25For his rule will go on till he has put all those who are against him under his feet.
