1 Corinthians 15:45

Read in context

1 Corinthians 15:43–47 · Berean Standard Bible

43 It 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. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.

47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
