Again the divine apostle says, For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality 1 Cor. xv. 35.. And
again: It is sown in corruption, it is raised in
incorruption: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in
power: it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory: it
is sown a natural body (that is to say, crass and mortal), it is
raised a spiritual body 1 Cor. xv. 42, 44., such as was our
Lord’s body after the resurrection which passed through closed
doors, was unwearying, had no need of food, or sleep, or drink.
For they will be, saith the Lord, as the angels of
God St. Mark xii. 25.: there
will no longer be marriage nor procreation of children. The
divine apostle, in truth, says, For our conversation is in heaven,
from whence also we
look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus, Who shall change our vile body
that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body Philip. iii. 20, 21.: not meaning change into
another form (God forbid!), but rather the change from corruption into
incorruption Nyss., loc.
citat.; Epiph., Hæres. vi. 4..
