I have a theory that "the last shall come first" may mean that the body will be pre-eminent over the soul -- when the final decisive judgments come to be made.
Body, oh you poor donkey, so abused by the soul!
It is the soul that plans the sins while body, poor beast of burden, is forced to carry them out, even when it knows better. It knows that that alcohol will kill it but the soul, in its dreams and draperies, conveniently forgets this. Or doesn't care.
The body is whipped and led into swamps it knows better than to enter on its own.
The soul as a bad steward.
