Verse in Context
Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
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.
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they ➔ also that are heavenly.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall ➔ also bear the image of the heavenly.
