  • This answer could be improved by addressing the question WRT to 1 Corinthians 15:20-23. For example, John's purpose (20:30-31) describes 2 things. (1) Believing Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God (2) Having life in His name (i.e. being a Christina). So is Jesus the firstfruit or are Christians? Christians could be those Matthew describes; that is secondary to what Paul has written (not the other Gospels or the OT). The phrase in question is ἰδίῳ τάγματι· ἀπαρχὴ Χριστός his own order firstfruit(s) Christ. Commented Feb 12, 2025 at 17:07
