44It is sowen a naturall body, it is raised a spirituall bodie. There is a naturall bodie, and there is a spirituall bodie. 45And so it is written: The first man Adam was made a liuing soule, the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46Howbeit that was not first which is spirituall: but that which is naturall, and afterward that which is spirituall. 47The first man is of the earth, earthy: The second man is the Lord from heauen. 48As is the earthy, such are they that are earthy, and as is the heauenly, such are they also that are heauenly.
