Philippians 3:21

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

[ Metascheematisei (G3345) to (G3588) sooma (G4983) tees (G3588) tapeinooseoos (G5014)] 'Who shall transfigure the body of our humiliation (in which our humiliation has place, 2 Corinthians 4:10; 2 Timothy 2:11: 'not vile, nothing that He made is vile' (Dr. Whately on his deathbed), that it may be conformed [ summorphon (G4832) to (G3588) soomati (G4983) tees (G3588) doxees (G1391)] unto the body of His glory (in which His glory is manifested), according to the effectual working [ energeian (G1753)] whereby,' etc. (Ephesians 1:19.)

Even - not only to make the body like His own, but "to subdue all things," even death itself, Satan, and sin. He gave a sample of the coming transfiguration on the mount, (Matthew 17:1, etc.) Not a change of identity, but of fashion or form (Psalms 17:15; 1 Corinthians 15:25; 1 Corinthians 15:51). Our spiritual resurrection now is the pledge of our bodily resurrection to glory hereafter (Philippians 3:20; Romans 8:11). As Christ's glorified body was essentially identical with His body of humiliation, so believers' resurrection bodies, being like His, shall be identical essentially with our present bodies, yet "spiritual" (1 Corinthians 15:42). Our 'hope' is, that Christ, by His rising from the dead, hath obtained the power, and is become the pattern, of our resurrection (Micah 2:13; Titus 2:13).
