28. In this Holy Catholic Church receiving
instruction and behaving ourselves virtuously, we shall attain the
kingdom of heaven, and inherit eternal life;
for which also we endure all toils, that we may be made partakers
thereof from the Lord. For ours is no trifling aim, but our
endeavour is for eternal life. Wherefore in the profession of the
Faith, after the words, “And in the
resurrection of the flesh,” that is, of the dead (of which
we have discoursed), we are taught to believe also “in the life eternal,” for which as Christians we are
striving.
