First Fruits.

 20) But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21) For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22) For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23) But each in turn: Christ, the first fruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.  1 Corinthians 15.
