The
First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Church at Corinth
Chapter
15:46-49
46
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual: but that which is
natural, and afterward that which is spiritual.
47
The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second man is the Lord
from heaven.
48
As is the earthly, such are they that are earthly: and as is the
heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49
And as we have born the image of the earthly, so shall we bear the
image of the heavenly.

Translation
1
Corinthians 15:46 Secondly he willeth the order of this double state
or quality to be observed, that the natural was first, Adam being
created of the clay of the earth: and the spiritual followed and came
upon it, to wit, when the Lord being sent from heaven, endued our
flesh which was prepared and made fit for him, with the fulness of
the Godhead.
1
Corinthians 15:47 Wallowing in dirt, and wholly given to an earthly
nature.

Corinthians 15:47 The Lord is said to come down from heaven by that
kind of speech, whereby that which is proper to one is touched of
another.
1
Corinthians 15:48 He applieth both the earthly naturalness of Adam
(if I may so say) to our bodies, so long as they are naturally
conversant on earth, to wit, in this life, and in the grave: and also
the spirituality of Christ to the same our bodies, after that they
are risen again: and he saith, that that goeth before and this shall
follow.
1
Corinthians 15:49 Not a vain and false image, but such an one as had
the truth with it indeed.
