Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 47. - Earthy. Made of" the dust of the ground" (Genesis 2:7). Is the Lord from heaven. The words "the Lord" are a gloss, not found in א, B, C, D, E, F, G. The verse remarkably resembles John 3:31, and probably oral reminiscences of our Lord's discourses were current among the apostles long before the Gospels were written. Tertullian attributes the insertion of "the Lord" to Marcion.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(47) The second man is the Lord from heaven.--Better, the second man is from heaven. The words "the Lord," which occur in the English version, are not in the best Greek MSS. The word which is twice rendered "of" in this verse has the force of "from," "originating from," in the Greek. The first representative man was from the earth, the second representative man was from heaven; and as was the first earthly Adam, so are we in our merely physical condition; and as is the second heavenly Adam, so shall we be in our heavenly state.
