1 Never administer a sharp reprimand to a man older than yourself; but entreat him as if he were your father, and the younger men as brothers;

15 by setting aside the Law with its commandments, expressed, as they were, in definite decrees. His design was to unite the two sections of humanity in Himself so as to form one new man,

45 In the same way also it is written, »The first man Adam became a living animal«; the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit.

46 Nevertheless, it is not what is spiritual that came first, but what is animal; what is spiritual came afterwards.

47 The first man is a man of earth, earthy; the second man is from Heaven.

48 What the earthy one is, that also are those who are earthy; and what the heavenly One is, that also are those who are heavenly.

49 And as we have borne a resemblance to the earthy one, let us see to it that we also bear a resemblance to the heavenly One.

6 But, as we know, a writer has solemnly said, How poor a creature is man, and yet Thou dost remember him, and a son of man, and yet Thou dost come to him!

7 A person of that sort must not expect to receive anything from the Lord–

8 such a one is a man of two minds, undecided in every step he takes.

11 But you, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, and a forgiving temper.

11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, felt like a child, reasoned like a child: when I became a man, I put from me childish ways.

22 to put away, in regard to your former mode of life, your original evil nature which is doomed to perish as befits its misleading impulses,

23 and to get yourselves renewed in the temper of your minds and clothe yourselves

24 with that new and better self which has been created to resemble God in the righteousness and holiness which come from the truth.

12 What follows? This comparison. Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed to all mankind in turn, in that all sinned.
