23 This will happen to each person in his own turn. Christ is the first, then at his coming, those who belong to him ⌊will be made alive⌋.
24 Then the end will come. Christ will hand over the kingdom to God the Father as he destroys every ruler, authority, and power.
25 Christ must rule until God has put every enemy under his control.
26 The last enemy he will destroy is death.
27 Clearly, God has put everything under Christ’s authority. When God says that everything has been put under Christ’s authority, this clearly excludes God, since God has put everything under Christ’s authority.
28 But when God puts everything under Christ’s authority, the Son will put himself under God’s authority, since God had put everything under the Son’s authority. Then God will be in control of everything.
29 However, people are baptized because the dead ⌊will come back to life⌋. What will they do? If the dead can’t come back to life, why do people get baptized as if they can ⌊come back to life⌋?
