So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.”† The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:45 in context
1 Corinthians 15:42–48
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.”† The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
