1 Corinthians 15:44-46 (Amplified Bible)
44-It is sown a natural (physical) body; it is raised a supernatural (a spiritual) body. [As surely as] there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.
45-Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life].(A)
46-But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual.
In Reality there has just been two men an old man and a new man.
The First Adam and the Last Adam: you may multiply these men by billions, but you will still have just two men.
To better understand this I have made this diagram:

The Old Creation is divided up into various religions black, white, red, yellow, male, female, Jew and Gentile. |
The New Creation is (neither-nor) black nor white red nor yellow male nor female, Jew nor Gentile. |
