1 Corinthians 15:45

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.

And {G2532} so {G3779} it is written {G1125}, The first {G4413} man {G444} Adam {G76} was made {G1096}{G1519} a living {G2198} soul {G5590}; the last {G2078} Adam {G76} was made {G1519} a quickening {G2227} spirit {G4151}.

In fact, the Tanakh says so: Adam, the first man, became a living human being; but the last “Adam” has become a life-giving Spirit.

So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
