Theophylact of Ohrid, on 1Cor 15:46

Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
1Cor 15:46 · Douay-Rheims
“Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; afterwards that which is spiritual.”
On this verse:
“So that no one would say: why do we now have a natural body, an inferior one, while the spiritual one is only yet to come? he says: because the origins of the one and the other have been established in that order. Adam came first, and Christ came after. Therefore our course always moves toward the better. And be assured that what is now corruptible and inferior in you will be transformed into the incorruptible and the better.”
