“It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:”
King James Version (KJV)
1 Corinthians 15:43 Context
40There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

Bible commentary
Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 15:43
15:43 It is sown in dishonour - Shocking to those who loved it best, human nature in disgrace! It is raised in glory - Clothed with robes of light, fit for those whom the King of heaven delights to honour. It is sown in weakness - Deprived even of that feeble strength which it once enjoyed. It is raised in power - Endued with vigour, strength, and activity, such as we cannot now conceive.
People's Bible Notes for 1 Corinthians 15:43
1Co 15:43 Sown in dishonour. The dead body is repulsive, becomes offensive, and we bury it out of sight. Raised in glory. Has a glorious beauty. Sown in weakness. All its powers exhausted. Raised in power. Endowed with heavenly energy.
