22 For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.  *

23 But each in his own order:  * Christ, the firstfruits; afterward, at his coming, those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end,  * when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father,  * when he abolishes all rule and all authority and power.  *25 For he must reign  * until he puts all his enemies under his feet.  *
