Irenaeus Against Heresies Book V And on this account he (the apostle) declares, "As we have borne the image of him who is of the earth, we shall also bear the image of Him who is from heaven."[62] Since, therefore, in that passage he recounts those works of the flesh which are without the Spirit, which bring death [upon their doers], he exclaimed at the end of his Epistle, in accordance with what he had already declared, "And as we have borne the image of him who is of the earth, we shall also bear the image of Him who is from heaven. For this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God."[82] Tertullian Against Marcion Book V Therefore, when exhorting them to cherish the hope of heaven, he says: "As we have borne the image of the earthy, so let us also bear the image of the heavenly,"[472] Methodius From the Discourse on the Resurrection -for the soul is not corruptible or mortal; but this which is mortal and corrupting is of flesh,-in order that, "as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly? "[39] For, "as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly."[100] Excerpts of Theodotus Thus we are translated from what is material to what is spiritual, "having borne the image of the heavenly."[41]
