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.” (B)The last Adam became (C)a life-giving spirit.

46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 (D)The first man was of the earth, (E)made[a] of dust; the second Man is [b]the Lord (F)from heaven. 48 As was the [c]man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; (G)and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.

44 it is sown a (A)natural body, it is raised a (B)spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So also it is written: “The first (C)man, Adam, became a living [a]person.” The (D)last Adam was a (E)life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47 The first man is (F)from the earth, [b](G)earthy; the second man is from heaven. 48 As is the earthy one, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly one, (H)so also are those who are heavenly.

44 it is sown a natural body [mortal, suited to earth], it is raised a spiritual body [immortal, suited to heaven]. As surely as there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written [in Scripture], “The first man, Adam, became a living soul (an individual);” the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving spirit [restoring the dead to life].(A) 46 However, the spiritual [the immortal life] is not first, but the physical [the mortal life]; then the spiritual. 47 The first man [Adam] is from the earth, earthy [made of dust]; the second Man [Christ, the Lord] is from heaven.(B) 48 As is the earthly man [the man of dust], so are those who are of earth; and as is the heavenly [Man], so are those who are of heaven.

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, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

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, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
