21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue. 23But euery man in his owne order. Christ the first fruits, afterward they that are Christs, at his comming. 24Then commeth the end, when he shall haue deliuered vp the kingdome to God euen the Father, when he shall haue put downe all rule, and all authority and power. 25For he must reigne, till hee hath put all enemies vnder his feete.
