1 Corinthians 15:45 Douay-Rheims

The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.

Irenaeus

c. A.D. 130–202 Patristic

For there had been a necessity that, in the first place, a human being should be fashioned, and that what was fashioned should receive the soul; afterwards that it should thus receive the communion of the Spirit. Wherefore also "the first Adam was made" by the Lord "a living soul, the second Adam a quickening spirit." As, then, he who was made a living soul forfeited life when he turned aside to what was evil, so, on the other hand, the same individual, when he reverts to what is good, and receives the quickening Spirit, shall find life.
