1 Corinthians 15:46-48
1599 Geneva Bible
46 [a]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, [b]earthly: the second man is the Lord from [c]heaven.
48 [d]As is the earthly, such are they that are earthly: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
