1 Corinthians 15:44-46
Easy-to-Read Version
44 The body that is “planted” is a physical body. When it is raised, it will be a spiritual body.
There is a physical body. So there is also a spiritual body. 45 As the Scriptures say, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.[a]”[b] But the last Adam[c] is a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual man did not come first. It was the physical man that came first; then came the spiritual.
