But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:23 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
John Chrysostom
AD 407
For do not, because you hear of a resurrection, imagine that all enjoy the same benefits. Since if in the punishment all will not suffer alike but the difference is great; much more where there are sinners and righteous men shall the separation be yet wider.
Christ the first-fruits, then they that are Christ's; i.e., the faithful and the approved.
