1 Corinthians 15:46
Douay-Rheims
Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; afterwards that which is spiritual.
Augustine of Hippo
First comes the clay that is only fit to be thrown away, with which we must begin but in which we need not remain. Afterward comes what is fit for us, that into which we can be gradually molded and in which, when molded, we may remain.
