For the\r\nfirst consists of two; the second is the complete death, which\r\nconsists of all. For, as the whole earth consists of many\r\nlands, and the Church universal of many churches, so death\r\nuniversal consists of all deaths. The first consists of two,\r\none of the body, and another of the soul. So that the first\r\ndeath is a death of the whole man, since the soul without\r\nGod and without the body suffers punishment for a time;\r\nbut the second is when the soul, without God but with the\r\nbody, suffers punishment everlasting. When, therefore, God\r\nsaid to that first man whom he had placed in Paradise, referring\r\nto the forbidden fruit, \"In the day that thou eatest\r\nthereof thou shalt surely die,\"<a id=\"FNanchor_588_588\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_588_588\">[588]</a> that threatening included not\r\nonly the first part of the first death, by which the soul is<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_534\">[Pg 534]</a></span>\r\ndeprived of God; nor only the subsequent part of the first\r\ndeath, by which the body is deprived of the soul; nor only\r\nthe whole first death itself, by which the soul is punished in\r\nseparation from God and from the body;—but it includes\r\nwhatever of death there is, even to that final death which is\r\ncalled second, and to which none is subsequent.</p>","headings":["THE WORKS OF AURELIUS AUGUSTINE,","BOOK THIRTEENTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45304-paragraph-918"}],"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.
