1 Corinthians 15:45 In-Context

43 When buried, it is ugly and weak; when raised, it will be beautiful and strong.
44 When buried, it is a physical body; when raised, it will be a spiritual body. There is, of course, a physical body, so there has to be a spiritual body.
45 For the scripture says, "The first man, Adam, was created a living being"; but the last Adam is the life-giving Spirit.
46 It is not the spiritual that comes first, but the physical, and then the spiritual.
47 The first Adam, made of earth, came from the earth; the second Adam came from heaven.
