It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
In dishonour - answering to "our vile body" (Philippians 3:21); literally, 'our body of humiliation:' liable to various humiliations of disease, injury, and decay.
In glory - the garment of incorruption (1 Corinthians 15:42-43) like His glorious body, which we shall put on (1 Corinthians 15:49; 1 Corinthians 15:53; 2 Corinthians 5:2-4).
In weakness - liable to infirmities (2 Corinthians 13:4).
In power - answering to a "spiritual body" (1 Corinthians 15:44: cf. Luke 1:17, "spirit and power"). Not liable to the weaknesses of our present bodies (Isaiah 33:24; Revelation 21:4).
