1 Corinthians 15:22

Verse 22

Adam

Adam was a contrasting type of Christ, 1 Corinthians 15:45-47; Romans 5:14-19.

(1) "The first man Adam was made a living soul" Genesis 2:7; Genesis 2:7 i.e. he derived life from another, that is, God. "The last Adam was a life-giving spirit." So far from deriving life, He was Himself the fountain of life, and He gave that life to others ; John 1:4; John 5:21; John 10:10; John 12:24; 1 John 5:12.

(2) In origin the first man was of the earth, earthy; the Second Man is the Lord from heaven.

(3) Each is the head of a creation, and these also are in contrast: in Adam all die; in Christ all will be made alive; the Adamic creation is "flesh"; the new creation, "spirit." John 3:6.

The brevity of the notes allowed Scofield's commentary to be included in the margins and footnotes in study Bibles, which countless Christians use as their primary study Bible.A modern version of the Reference Notes (called the New Scofield Reference Bible) exists, but is a 1967 revision bearing no real relation to C.
