21
For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.
22
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.
23
But each 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 the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.
25
For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.
26

27
For "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

30
And why do we stand in jeopardy every hour?
