But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those that who have fallen asleep.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

But the fact is that Christ (the Messiah) has been raised from the dead, and He became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep [in death].

But now Christ has been raised out from among the dead, a firstfruit of those who have fallen asleep.

But the glorious fact is that Christ was raised from the dead: He has become the very first to rise of all who sleep the sleep of death.

But in reality Christ has been raised from the dead, the first (literally, first fruits) to be raised of those who have fallen asleep.
