1 Corinthians 15:20-34

20(But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.

21For since by man [came] death, by man also resurrection of [those that are] dead.

22For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.

23But each in his own rank: [the] first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.

24Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him [who is] 1God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.

25For he must reign until he put all enemies under his feet.

26[The] last enemy [that] is annulled [is] death.

27For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, [it is] evident that [it is] except him who put all things in subjection to him.

28But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that 2God may be all in all.)

29Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if [those that are] dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?

30Why do we also endanger ourselves every hour?

31Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

32If, [to speak] after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if [those that are] dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

34Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of 3God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.
