"But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep."
— 1 Corinthians 15:20, World English Bible
“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.”
“But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep. ”
“But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.”
“But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep:”
“But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.”
“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.”
If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.
For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.
