Verse 45 starts with "and" and therefore is a continuation of the preceding verse. Verse 44 talks about soulish body and spiritual body. Soulish body is connected with first Adam being a living soul, and spiritual body is connected with last Adam being a life-giving spirit. Soulish body is animated by a soul. And spiritual body is animated by a life-giving spirit. A metonymy here then is a substitution of "spiritual body" with "a life-giving spirit".

The problem with LC teaching is that Witness Lee described this "becoming" mainly as a change in the Godhead (God was processed and consummated), rather than as a glorification of Christ's humanity in resurrection.
