Exegesis
The aorist indicative ephorésamen {ἐφορέσαμεν | ephorésamen} ‘we bore’ denotes the past assuming of the first eikṓna {εἰκόνα | eikṓna} ‘image,’ with the genitive toû choïkoû {τοῦ χοϊκοῦ | toû choïkoû} ‘of the earthy’ specifying its dust origin.
The future indicative phorésomen {φορέσομεν | phorésomen} ‘we shall bear’ projects an eschatological promise concerning a second eikṓna {εἰκόνα | eikṓna}, modified by the genitive toû epouraníou {τοῦ ἐπουρανίου | toû epouraníou} ‘of the heavenly,’ creating a balanced antithetical structure that underscores the shift from mortal to transformed existence. English rendering mirrors this with a comparative correlative pattern to preserve both sequence and theological emphasis.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:49
And just as we have borne the image of the earthy , we will likewise bear the image of the heavenly.
