1 Corinthians 15:45

In the Scriptures it is written {we read} that when the first man, Adam, was created, he became a living human being. Christ later also became a human being. But he is different from Adam, because he became a person who gives us spiritual life.

Translation for Translators

In The King James Version

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

In Context

44The bodies that we have before we die are natural bodies. But our new bodies will be ones that God’s Spirit ◄ controls/gives us►. Just like there are natural bodies, there are bodies that God’s Spirit completely controls (OR, makes alive).

46But our bodies that God’s Spirit ◄will completely control/will give us► are not the first bodies that we have. We have our natural bodies first.
