1 Cor 15:42-44
Chapter 15
42
The same principle applies to the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in decay; it will be raised never to die again.
43
It is sown in dishonor, and it will be raised in glory. It is buried in weakness, but the resurrection will be in power.
44
When buried, it is a natural body, but it will be raised as a spiritual body. For there will be a spiritual body, just as there is a living body now.

The Apostle, through comparisons, leads us to the only possible answer: unlimited divine power. Hope in the final glorious resurrection gives meaning to daily struggles and sufferings.
