1 Corinthians 15:20
King James Version
“But now is Christ risen from the dead, become the firstfruits of them that slept.”
Context
17And if Christ be not raised, your faith vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20But now is Christ risen from the dead, become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21For since by man death, by man also the resurrection of the dead.
22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
