Since the heretics, however, think themselves persons of\r\ngreat learning and wisdom, we shall ask them if every body\r\nhas a form of some kind, <i>i.e.</i> is fashioned according to some\r\nshape. And if they shall say that a body is that which is\r\nfashioned according to no shape, they will show themselves to\r\nbe the most ignorant and foolish of mankind. For no one\r\nwill deny this, save him who is altogether without any learning.\r\nBut if, as a matter of course, they say that every body is\r\ncertainly fashioned according to some definite shape, we shall\r\nask them if they can point out and describe to us the shape\r\nof a spiritual body; a thing which they can by no means do.\r\nWe shall ask them, moreover, about the differences of those\r\nwho rise again. How will they show that statement to be\r\ntrue, that there is “one flesh of birds, another of fishes;\r\nbodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial; that the glory of the\r\ncelestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial another; that\r\none is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon,\r\nanother the glory of the stars; that one star differeth from\r\nanother star in glory, and that so is the resurrection of the\r\ndead?”<a id=\"r318\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f318\"><sup>[318]</sup></a> According to that gradation, then, which exists\r\namong heavenly bodies, let them show to us the differences\r\nin the glory of those who rise again; and if they have\r\nendeavoured by any means to devise a principle that may be\r\nin accordance with the differences in heavenly bodies, we\r\nshall ask them to assign the differences in the resurrection by\r\na comparison of earthly bodies. Our understanding of the\r\npassage indeed is, that the apostle, wishing to describe the\r\ngreat difference among those who rise again in glory, <i>i.e.</i> of\r\nthe saints, borrowed a comparison from the heavenly bodies,\r\nsaying, “One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of\r\nthe moon, another the glory of the stars.” And wishing\r\nagain to teach us the differences among those who shall come\r\nto the resurrection, without having purged themselves in this\r\nlife, <i>i.e.</i> sinners, he borrowed an illustration from earthly\r\nthings, saying, “There is one flesh of birds, another of\r\nfishes.” For heavenly things are worthily compared to the\r\nsaints, and earthly things to sinners. These statements are\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_139\">139</span>made in reply to those who deny the resurrection of the dead,\r\n<i>i.e.</i> the resurrection of bodies.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK II.","CHAPTER X.
