1 Corinthians 15:20-34

20But now Messiah has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also has come through a Man.

22For as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah will all be made alive.

23But each in its own order: Messiah the firstfruits; then, at His coming, those who belong to Messiah;

24then the end, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all rule and all authority and power.

25For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

26The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

27For God has “put all things in subjection underneath His feet.” But when the psalmist says that “all” has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include God Himself, who put all things under Messiah.

28Now when all things become subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also become subject to the One who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.

29Otherwise, what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they immersed for them?

30And why are we in danger every hour?

31I die every day—yes, as surely as the boast in you, brothers and sisters, which I have in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.

32If, for human reasons, I fought with “wild animals” at Ephesus, what good is that to me? If the dead are not raised, “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

33Do not be deceived! “Bad company corrupts good morals.”

34Come to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning! For some have no knowledge of God—I say this to your shame.
