it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

'sown in dishonor' -'buried because it is repulsive and will become offensive- John 11:39. (McGarvey p. 157) 'We, indeed, try to honor the dead whom we bury by clothing them in their best, giving them. fine casket, flowers, our attending presence, etc...Yet the body itself is enveloped "in dishonor"--we soon hurry it from sight.' (Lenski p. 712)

'it is raised in glory' -(1 Peter 3:21)

'sown in weakness' -'Lack of strength as shown in the victory of death' (Robertson p. 196) 'The dead body is altogether without power...It cannot even resist being buried, muchless the process of decay.' (Willis p. 577)

'raised in power' -A body that death cannot conquer.. body fashioned and raised by the power of God. (Romans 8:11)
