1Co 15:19  If we have set our hopes on the Messiah in this life only, we deserve more pity than any other people.  1Co 15:20  But at this moment the Messiah stands risen from the dead, the first one offered in the harvest of those who have died.  1Co 15:21  For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also came through a man.  1Co 15:22  For as in Adam all die, so also in the Messiah will all be made alive.  1Co 15:23  However, this will happen to each person in the proper order: first the Messiah, then those who belong to the Messiah when he comes.  1Co 15:24  Then the end will come, when after he has done away with every ruler and every authority and power, the Messiah hands over the kingdom to God the Father.  1Co 15:25  For he must rule until God puts all the Messiah's enemies under his feet.  1Co 15:26  The last enemy to be done away with is death,
