Chapter XXVI.—We
Shall Rise Again, Then, as the Scripture Also Testifies.
Do we then deem it any great and wonderful thing for the
Maker of all things to raise up again those that have piously served
Him in the assurance of a good faith, when even by a bird He shows us
the mightiness of His power to fulfil His promise?
4123
For [the Scripture] saith in a certain
place, “Thou shalt raise me up, and I shall confess unto
Thee”;
4124
and again, “I
laid me down, and slept”; “I awaked, because Thou art with
me;”
4125
and again, Job
says, “Thou shalt raise up this flesh of mine, which has suffered
all these things.”
