Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on 1Cor 15:49

“Therefore as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly.”

“as--Greek, "even as" (see Gen 5:3). we shall also bear--or wear as a garment [BENGEL]. The oldest manuscripts and versions read, "We must also bear," or "let us also bear." It implies the divine appointment (compare "must," Co1 15:53) and faith assenting to it. An exhortation, and yet implying a promise (so Rom 8:29). The conformity to the image of the heavenly Representative man is to be begun here in our souls, in part, and shall be perfected at the resurrection in both bodies and souls.”
