For certainly on that very day their nature was altered\r\nfor the worse and vitiated, and by their most just banishment\r\nfrom the tree of life they were involved in the necessity even\r\nof bodily death, in which necessity we are born. And therefore\r\nthe apostle does not say, \"The body indeed is doomed to\r\ndie on account of sin,\" but he says, \"The body indeed is\r\ndead because of sin.\" Then he adds, \"But if the Spirit of\r\nHim that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He\r\nthat raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your\r\nmortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_609_609\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_609_609\">[609]</a> Then\r\naccordingly shall the body become a quickening spirit which\r\nis now a living soul; and yet the apostle calls it \"dead,\" because\r\nalready it lies under the necessity of dying. But in\r\nParadise it was so made a living soul, though not a quickening\r\nspirit, that it could not properly be called dead, for, save\r\nthrough the commission of sin, it could not come under the\r\npower of death. Now, since God by the words, \"Adam, where\r\nart thou?\" pointed to the death of the soul, which results\r\nwhen He abandons it, and since in the words, \"Earth thou\r\nart, and unto earth shalt thou return,\"<a id=\"FNanchor_610_610\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_610_610\">[610]</a> He signified the\r\ndeath of the body, which results when the soul departs from<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_549\">[Pg 549]</a></span>\r\nit, we are led, therefore, to believe that He said nothing of\r\nthe second death, wishing it to be kept hidden, and reserving\r\nit for the New Testament dispensation, in which it is most\r\nplainly revealed. And this He did in order that, first of all,\r\nit might be evident that this first death, which is common to\r\nall, was the result of that sin which in one man became common\r\nto all.<a id=\"FNanchor_611_611\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_611_611\">[611]</a> But the second death is not common to all, those\r\nbeing excepted who were \"called according to His purpose.\r\nFor whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be\r\nconformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born\r\namong many brethren.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_612_612\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_612_612\">[612]</a> Those the grace of God has,\r\nby a Mediator, delivered from the second death.</p>","headings":["THE WORKS OF AURELIUS AUGUSTINE,","BOOK THIRTEENTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45304-paragraph-944"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"6000c88d3c780e4a47db64b9188abe8f085a73da48185c10bdd01499d715c77d","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume I","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Book IV)","J.
