'First' in the Bible

For in the first place, [when you] come together as a church, I hear there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

and whom God has appointed in the church: first, apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.

And if [something] is revealed to another who is seated, the first must be silent.

For I passed on to you {as of first importance} what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,

Thus also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul"; the last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.

But the spiritual [is] not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

The first man [is] from the earth, made of earth; the second man [is] from heaven.

On the first [day] of the week, each one of you {put aside} [something], saving up {to whatever extent he has prospered}, in order that whenever I come, at that time collections do not take place.
