AMP
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.

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