'Raised from the Dead' in the Bible

Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how is it that some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But now [as things really are] Christ has in fact been raised from the dead, [and He became] the first fruits [that is, the first to be resurrected with an incorruptible, immortal body, foreshadowing the resurrection] of those who have fallen asleep [in death].
