Earthy

Concise Bible Dictionary:

A characteristic of man as made out of the earth, of dust (1 Cor. 15:47-49⁴⁷The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. ⁴⁸As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. ⁴⁹And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (1 Corinthians 15:47‑49)). “The first man is of the earth, earthy,” in contrast to “the second man, out of heaven.” A man cannot rise morally above the earth except by the power of God in new creation.
