1 Corinthians 15:45
Compare all
43 aIt is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.  
44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, a“The first man Adam became a living being.” bThe last Adam became ca life-giving spirit.  
46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
47 aThe first man was of the earth, bmade of dust; the second Man is2 the Lord cfrom heaven.  
48 As was the1 man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; aand as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.  
49 And aas we have borne the image of the man of dust, bwe shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.  

Our Final Victory

50 Now this I say, brethren, that aflesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.  
51 Behold, I tell you a1 mystery: aWe shall not all sleep, bbut we shall all be changed—

1 Corinthians 15:45

so—in accordance with the distinction just mentioned between the natural or animal-souled body and the spiritual body.

it is written— (Genesis 2:7); "Man became (was made to become) a living soul," that is, endowed with an animal soul, the living principle of his body.

the last Adam—the LAST Head of humanity, who is to be fully manifested in the last day, which is His day (John 6:39). He is so called in Job 19:25; see on Job 19:25 (compare Romans 5:14). In contrast to "the last," Paul calls "man" (Genesis 2:7) "the FIRST Adam."

quickening—not only living, but making alive (John 5:21; John 6:33, John 6:39-40, John 6:54, John 6:57, John 6:62-63; Romans 8:11). As the natural or animal-souled body (I Corinthians 15:44) is the fruit of our union with the first Adam, an animal-souled man, so the spiritual body is the fruit of our union with the second Adam, who is the quickening Spirit (II Corinthians 3:17). As He became representative of the whole of humanity in His union of the two natures, He exhausted in His own person the sentence of death passed on all men, and giveth spiritual and everlasting life to whom He will.
