Revelation 21 King James Version (KJV)

The resurrection of Christ is elsewhere referred to as a begetting from the dead (Rev 1:5). It is in this sense that Jesus is the firstborn of every creature (Col 1:15), being the firstborn from the dead (Col 1:18). Jesus was the first that should rise from the dead (Act 26:23). He is the firstfruits of the resurrection of the dead (1Co 15:20). ................
