It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 26. Gal. 5. 11. Some read, 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised y Phil. 3. 21. in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a 17 natural body 17; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a 17 natural body 17, and there isß a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living 18 soul 18; a the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 28 And when all things shall be 12 sub-from heaven. dued 12 unto him, then shall the Son h Phil. 3. 21. also himself be 12 subject 12 unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. i ch. 3. 23. & 11. 3.
