1 Corinthians 15:47
Douay-Rheims
The first man was of the earth, earthly: the second man, from heaven, heavenly.
Tertullian
We read in so many words: "The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven." This passage, however, has nothing to do with any difference of substance; it only contrasts with the once "earthy" substance of the flesh of the first man, Adam, the "heavenly" substance of the spirit of the second man, Christ.
