It is sown in corruption; … it is sown in dishonour; … it is sown in weakness; … it is sown a natural body. – The first man is of the earth, earthy. |
Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. – One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. … And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. |
My flesh … shall rest in hope. – Though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. – The Lord Jesus Christ … 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. |
Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. – So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. |
