This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

48. οἷος ὁ χοϊκός, i. e. Adam. Man, when united to Christ by faith, partakes of both natures. He is liable, therefore, still to the weakness and infirmities of the former. ‘This infection of nature doth remain, yea in them that are regenerated.’ Art. IX. And this they must bear to the end. They must be subject to the law of the natural order of things, before they attain fully to the law of the spiritual order. They must receive the wages of sin, namely, death. But, possessing faith in Christ, they possess the imperishable principle of life.

οἷος ὁ ἐπουράνιος, i. e. Christ. ‘When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be brought to an end.’ ‘Mortality shall be swallowed up of life’: the old Adam shall be done away in Christ. Cf. Php 3:20-21.
