1 CORINTHIANS 15:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.”
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep — the great affirmation: Christ's resurrection is actual (egêgertai, perfect tense: raised and remaining raised). He is aparché: firstfruits, the initial harvest guaranteeing the full harvest to come. His resurrection ensures ours.
