1 Corinthians 15:46-47
1 Corinthians 15:45-49 The Message (MSG)
We follow this sequence in Scripture: The First Adam received life, the Last Adam is a life-giving Spirit. Physical life comes first, then spiritual—a firm base shaped from the earth, a final completion coming out of heaven. The First Man was made out of earth, and people since then are earthy; the Second Man was made out of heaven, and people now can be heavenly. In the same way that we’ve worked from our earthy origins, let’s embrace our heavenly ends.
1 Corinthians 15:46-47 King James Version (KJV)
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:46-47 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:46-47 New Century Version (NCV)
The spiritual did not come first, but the physical and then the spiritual. The first man came from the dust of the earth. The second man came from heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:46-47 American Standard Version (ASV)
Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:46-47 New International Version (NIV)
The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:46-47 New King James Version (NKJV)
However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:46-47 Amplified Bible (AMP)
However, the spiritual [the immortal life] is not first, but the physical [the mortal life]; then the spiritual. The first man [Adam] is from the earth, earthy [made of dust]; the second Man [Christ, the Lord] is from heaven. [Gen 2:7]
1 Corinthians 15:46-47 New Living Translation (NLT)
What comes first is the natural body, then the spiritual body comes later. Adam, the first man, was made from the dust of the earth, while Christ, the second man, came from heaven.
