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" (); literally, 'our body of humiliation:' liable to various humiliations of disease, injury, and decay.

In glory - the garment of incorruption (1 Corinthians 15:42) like His glorious body, which we shall put on (; ; 2 Corinthians 5:2).

In weakness - liable to infirmities ().

In power - answering to a "spiritual body" (: cf. , "spirit and power"). Not liable to the weaknesses of our present bodies (; ).
