As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:48 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
Hilary of Poitiers
AD 368
The first man was made from the slime of the earth. The second man came from heaven. By using the word man, he taught the birth of this man from the virgin, who in fulfilling her function as a mother acted in accordance with the nature of her sex in the conception and birth of the man. And when he asserted that the second man was from heaven, he testified that his origin was from the appearance of the Holy Spirit who came upon the virgin. Thus precisely while he was a man, he was also from heaven. The birth of this man was from the virgin. The conception was from the Spirit.
