Exegesis

speiretai {σπείρεται | speí-re-tai} ‘it is sown’ begins each clause, followed by en {ἐν | en} plus a dative noun—first atimia {ἀτιμίᾳ | a-ti-MÍ-ai} contrasted with doxe {δόξῃ | dóx-ē}, then astheneia {ἀσθενείᾳ | as-thé-nei-a} contrasted with dynamei {δυνάμει | dý-na-mei}—before the corresponding egeiretai {ἐγείρεται | e-geí-re-tai} ‘it is raised’ phrase signals the transformed state. The implicit subject ‘body’ carries from verse 42, and the chiastic parallelism underscores the movement from mortal dishonor and weakness to resurrected glory and power.
