87. If the earth and heaven are renewed, why
should we doubt that man, on account of whom heaven and earth were
made, can be renewed? If the transgressor be reserved for
punishment, why should not the just be kept for glory? If the
worm of sins does not die, how shall the flesh of the just
perish? For the resurrection, as the very form of the word shows,
is this, that what has fallen should rise again, that which has died
should come to life again.
