"So what is, at first, not spiritual, but animal, next becomes spiritual. "
— 1 Corinthians 15:46, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.”
“Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual. ”
“However that which is spiritual isn't first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.”
“However, the spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.”
“Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural: afterwards that which is spiritual.”
“But that which is natural comes before that which is of the spirit.”
“Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.”
What is sown in dishonor shall rise to glory. What is sown in weakness shall rise to power.
What is sown with an animal body shall rise with a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual one.
Just as it was written that the first man, Adam, was made with a living soul, so shall the last Adam be made with a spirit brought back to life.
So what is, at first, not spiritual, but animal, next becomes spiritual.
The first man, being earthly, was of the earth; the second man, being heavenly, will be of heaven.
Such things as are like the earth are earthly; and such things as are like the heavens are heavenly.
And so, just as we have carried the image of what is earthly, let us also carry the image of what is heavenly.
