45 So it is written, The first man Adam became a living being;  *,* the last Adam  * became a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual.

47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust;  * the second man is  * from heaven. 48 Like the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; like the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven.  *49 And just as we have borne the image  * of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.  *
