So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body. Thus it is written, ‘The first man, Adam, became a living being’; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But it is not the spiritual that is first, but the physical, and then the spiritual. (1Corinthians 15: 43-46)

Because we are physical we are perishable, dishonoured, and weak. The Greek translated as dishonoured might be better understood as discounted: as the price of a perishable item is discounted before it spoils.

In the resurrection we will become spiritual: imperishable, glorifed, and powerful. The Greek for glorified is doxa. For Plato this is an undisciplined impression. For Paul this is closer to a spontaneous expression.

Both physical and spiritual have value. As the value of a luscious tomato passes, so does our physical value. Spiritual value transcends time and space. In our current condition we consume life. Our spiritual being will produce life.
