The Greek word for "earthly" is "choikos," which means made of dust or soil, emphasizing the material and perishable nature of human beings. In <a href="/genesis/2-7.htm">Genesis 2:7</a>, we see that Adam was formed from the dust of the ground, highlighting the temporary and fragile nature of human life. This phrase sets the stage for understanding the contrast between the natural and the spiritual, the perishable and the imperishable.<p><b>so also are those who are of the earth</b><br />Here, Paul is drawing a parallel between Adam and all of humanity. Just as Adam was made from the earth and subject to sin and death, so too are all his descendants. The phrase "those who are of the earth" refers to all people who inherit the fallen nature of Adam. This is a reminder of the universal human condition of sinfulness and mortality, as described in <a href="/romans/5-12.htm">Romans 5:12</a>, where sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin.<p><b>and as is the heavenly man</b><br />This phrase refers to Jesus Christ, who is often called the "second Adam" or the "last Adam" (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-45.htm">1 Corinthians 15:45</a>). The Greek word for "heavenly" is "epouranios," which means celestial or divine, indicating the spiritual and eternal nature of Christ. Unlike Adam, Jesus is not of the earth but from heaven, embodying the perfect and sinless nature of God. This highlights the transformative power of Christ's resurrection, which offers believers a new identity and destiny.<p><b>so also are those who are of heaven</b><br />This phrase speaks to the identity of believers who are united with Christ through faith. Just as Christ is heavenly, so too are those who belong to Him. This transformation is not just a future hope but a present reality for Christians, as they are called to live according to their new nature in Christ. <a href="/ephesians/2-6.htm">Ephesians 2:6</a> speaks of believers being raised up with Christ and seated with Him in the heavenly realms, emphasizing the spiritual rebirth and eternal life that come through faith in Jesus.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_corinthians/15.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 48.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">As is the earthy,</span> etc. Men resemble their first parent Adam; Christians, their spiritual Redeemer, Christ (<a href="/philippians/3-20.htm">Philippians 3:20, 21</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_corinthians/15-48.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">As</span><br /><span class="grk">&#959;&#7991;&#959;&#962;</span> <span class="translit">(hoios)</span><br /><span class="parse">Personal / Relative Pronoun - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3634.htm">Strong's 3634: </a> </span><span class="str2">Probably akin to ho, hos, and hosos; such or what sort of; especially the neuter with negative, not so.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">[was] the</span><br /><span class="grk">&#8001;</span> <span class="translit">(ho)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> </span><span class="str2">The, the definite article.
