As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.

Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly one, such also the heavenly ones.

What the earthy one is, that also are those who are earthy; and what the heavenly One is, that also are those who are heavenly.

Those who are of the earth are like the man who was from the earth: and those who are of heaven are like the one from heaven.

Such things as are like the earth are earthly; and such things as are like the heavens are heavenly.

Those who are of the dust are like him who came from the dust; and those who are of heaven are like him who came from heaven.

As is the earthy - Such as Adam was.
Such are they also - Such are all his descendants; all who derive their nature from him. That is, they are frail, corruptible, mortal; they live in an animal body as he did, and like him, they are subject to corruption and decay.
And as is the heavenly - As is he who was from heaven; as is the Lord Jesus now in is glorified body. "Such are they also, etc." Such will they be also. They will be like him; they will have a body like his. This idea is more fully expressed in Philippians 3:21, "Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body."

As is the earthy, etc. - As Adam was, who was formed from the earth, so are all his descendants; frail, decaying, and subject to death.
As is the heavenly - As is the heavenly state of Adam and all glorified beings, so shall be the state of all those who, at the resurrection, are found fit for glory.

(27) As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.
(27) He applies both the earthly naturalness of Adam (if I may so say) to our bodies, so long as they are naturally conversant upon earth, that is, in this life, and in the grave. And also the spirituality of Christ to our same bodies, after they are risen again: and he says that the former goes before, and that this latter will follow.

As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy,.... As was Adam's body, so are the bodies of those that descend from him; they are houses of clay, earthly houses of this tabernacle, which rise out of the earth, are maintained by the things of it, and return to it again:
and as is the heavenly, such are, or will be
they also that are heavenly; as is the glorious and spiritual body of Christ, the Lord from heaven, as that now is in heaven, and will be when he descends from thence; so will be the bodies of them that are heavenly, that are heaven born souls now, are partakers of the heavenly calling, and whose conversation is in heaven; and who, in the resurrection morn, will have heavenly, spiritual, and glorious bodies, like unto Christ's: so Philo (h) the Jew on those words, "and man became a living soul", has this note;
"there are two kinds of men, for the one is "the heavenly man", and the other is "earthy"; the heavenly man is he, who is made after the image of God, incorruptible, and wholly devoid of earthy substance; the earthy is made of seminal matter, which is called the ground.''
(h) Leg. Allegor. l. 1. p. 46.

As is the earthy--namely, Adam.
they . . . that are earthy--All Adam's posterity in their natural state (John 3:6-7).
the heavenly--Christ.
they . . . that are heavenly--His people in their regenerate state (Philippians 3:20-21). As the former precedes the latter state, so the natural bodies precede the spiritual bodies.

They that are earthy - Who continue without any higher principle. They that are heavenly - Who receive a divine principle from heaven.
