1 Corinthians 15:45-49
Ash Wednesday – A Women’s Lectionary
45 Thus it is written,A “The firstB man,C Adam,D
the lastH Adam became a life-givingI spirit.J 46 But it is not the spiritualK that is first,L but the physical, and then the spiritual.
47 The firstM man was from the earth,N a man of dust;O the secondP man is from heaven.Q
48 As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven,R so are those who are of heaven.S 49 Just as we have borneT the imageU of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.
