in dishonour--answering to "our vile body" (Phi 3:21); literally, "our body of humiliation": liable to various humiliations of disease, injury, and decay at last. in glory--the garment of incorruption (Co1 15:42-43) like His glorious body (Phi 4:21), which we shall put on (Co1 15:49, Co1 15:53; Co2 5:2-4). in weakness--liable to infirmities (Co2 13:4). in power--answering to a "spiritual body" (Co1 15:44; compare Luk 1:17, "Spirit and power"). Not liable to the weaknesses of our present frail bodies (Isa 33:24; Rev 21:4).
