| It is sown in corruption; … it is sown in dishonor; … it is sown in weakness; … it is sown a natural body.1 – The first man is of the earth, earthy.2 |
| Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.3 – 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.4 |
| My flesh … shall rest in hope.5 – Though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.6 – 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.7 |
| Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.8 – So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.9 |
