The first man [is] of the earth, (z) earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from (a) heaven.
(z) Wallowing in dirt, and wholly given to an earthly nature.
(a) As Adam was the first man, Christ is the second man; and these two are spoken of, as if they were the only two men in the world; because as the former was the head and representative of all his natural posterity, so the latter is the head and representative of all the spiritual offspring: and that he is "the Lord from heaven"; in distinction from the first man. (Ed.)
