Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 15:45

_ _ so — in accordance with the distinction just mentioned between the natural or animal-souled body and the spiritual body.

_ _ it is written — (Genesis 2:7); “Man became (was made to become) a living soul,” that is, endowed with an animal soul, the living principle of his body.

_ _ the last Adam — the LAST Head of humanity, who is to be fully manifested in the last day, which is His day (John 6:39). He is so called in Job 19:25; see on Job 19:25 (compare Romans 5:14). In contrast to “the last,” Paul calls “man” (Genesis 2:7) “the FIRST Adam.”

_ _ quickening — not only living, but making alive (John 5:21; John 6:33, John 6:39, John 6:40, John 6:54, John 6:57, John 6:62, John 6:63; Romans 8:11). As the natural or animal-souled body (1 Corinthians 15:44) is the fruit of our union with the first Adam, an animal-souled man, so the spiritual body is the fruit of our union with the second Adam, who is the quickening Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17). As He became representative of the whole of humanity in His union of the two natures, He exhausted in His own person the sentence of death passed on all men, and giveth spiritual and everlasting life to whom He will.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:35-50.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 15:45

The first Adam was made a living soul — God gave him such life as other animals enjoy: but the last Adam, Christ, is a quickening spirit — As he hath life in himself, so he quickeneth whom he will; giving a more refined life to their very bodies at the resurrection. Genesis 2:7

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Corinthians 15:45

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

(25) That is called a natural body which is made alive and maintained by a living soul only in the manner that Adam was, of whom we are all born naturally. And that is said to be a spiritual body, which together with the soul is made alive with a far more excellent power, that is, with the Spirit of God, who descends from Christ the second Adam to us.

(x) Adam is called the first man, because he is the root as it were from which we spring. And Christ is the latter man, because he is the beginning of all those that are spiritual, and in him we are all included.

(y) Christ is called a Spirit, by reason of that most excellent nature, that is to say, God who dwells in him bodily, as Adam is called a living soul, by reason of the soul which is the best part in him.
