| So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption: it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power: it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. (1 Cor. 15:42‑44) |
| We that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. (2 Cor. 5:4) |
Our earthen vessels break;
The world itself grows old;
But Christ our precious dust will take
And freshly mold:
He’ll give these bodies vile
A fashion like His own;
He’ll bid the whole creation smile,
And hush its groan. |
