1 Corinthians 15:20

“But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.”

Verse in context — 1 Corinthians 15

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.
