Summary: Christ's resurrection is the firstfruit of ours.

## Greek text

Κατανοήσωμεν, ἀγαπητοί, πῶς ὁ δεσπότης ἐπιδείκνυται διηνεκῶς ἡμῖν τὴν μέλλουσαν ἀνάστασιν ἔσεσθαι, ἧς τὴν ἀπαρχὴν ἐποιήσατο τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστήσας.

## English translation (Claude)

Let us consider, beloved, how the Master continually shows us the resurrection that is to be, of which he has made the Lord Jesus Christ the firstfruit by raising him from the dead.
