Irenaeus Against Heresies Book V In order, therefore, that we may be perfected for this, aptly does he say to the Corinthians, "Glorify God in your body."[105] Tertullian Against Marcion Book V What has the heretic to say? That these members of Christ will not rise again, for they are no longer our own? "For," he says, "ye are bought with a price."[303] since Christ was a phantom, nor had He any corporeal substance which He could pay for our bodies! But, in truth, Christ had wherewithal to redeem us; and since He has redeemed, at a great price, these bodies of ours, against which fornication must not be committed (because they are now members of Christ, and not our own), surely He will secure, on His own account, the safety of those whom He made His own at so much cost! Now, how shall we glorify, how shall we exalt, God in our body,[304] Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh glorify and exalt God in your body,"[95] Tertullian On Modesty and was "redeemed with a great price"-"the blood," to wit, "of the Lord and Lamb"[79] A Letter from Origen to Africanus we notice such things, we are forthwith to reject as spurious the copies in use in our Churches, and enjoin the brotherhood to put away the sacred books current among them, and to coax the Jews, and persuade them to give us copies which shall be untampered with, and free from forgery! Are we to suppose that that Providence which in the sacred Scriptures has ministered to the edification of all the Churches of Christ, had no thought for those bought with a price, for whom Christ died;[4] Cyprian Treatise IV On the Lord's Prayer The blessed apostle also has laid down in his epistle: "Ye are not your own; for ye are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear about God in your body."[32] Cyprian Treatise XI Exhortation to Martyrdom Addressed to Fortunatus And again: "Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body."[46] Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XII according as "we were bought with a price,"[181] "having been redeemed, not with corruptible things as silver or gold, but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot," even of Christ.[182]
