1 Corinthians 15:20-22 But now Christ has been raised up from the dead; He is the firstfruits of those who have died. Note: By “firstfruits” is meant the first installment of the crop which promises the entire harvest eventually.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ But now Christ has been raised up from the dead; [He is] the firstfruits of those who have died. [Note: By “firstfruits” is meant the first installment of the crop which promises the entire harvest eventually]. ²¹ For since death happened to a man [i.e., Adam], the resurrection from the dead also happened to a man [i.e., Christ]. ²² For as all people die [physically] in [their relationship to] Adam, so also will all people be made alive [physically] in [their relationship to] Christ. [Note: However, some view “made alive” as referring to the new spiritual life given to believers].
