Chapter
120.—Death Cannot Injure Those Who Have Received the Grace of
Regeneration.
But before a man can receive the
commandment, it is necessary that he should live according to the
flesh. But if once he has received the grace of regeneration, death
shall not injure him, even if he should forthwith depart from this
life; “for to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived,
that He might be Lord both of the dead and the living;”
1323
nor shall
death retain dominion over him for whom Christ freely
died.
