20: But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

21: For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

22: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

23: But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

24: Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25: For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26: The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
