Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 46. - That was not first which is spiritual. The imperfect precedes the perfect.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(46) Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual.--Here a further thought is introduced. There is not only a variety of bodies--and that variety regulated by adaptability to their state of existence--but there is an ordered sequence in that variety. As the Adam was first from whom we derive the natural body and soul, and the Adam was last from whom comes our spiritual nature, so there will be the like order in regard to our bodies. The natural body first in this life--the spiritual body afterwards in the next life.
