And that our bodies are to rise again, He shows when

‹ Chapter 6 Chapter 8 ›

He

says

,

“

Verily

I

say

unto

you

,

that

the

hour

cometh

,

in

the

which

all

that

are

in

the

graves

shall

hear

the

voice

of

the

Son

of

God

;

and

they

that

hear

shall

live

.

”

And

[

says

]

the

apostle

,

“

For

this

corruptible

must

put

on

incorruption

,

and

this

mortal

must

put

on

immortality

.

”

And

that

we

must

live

soberly

and

righteously

,

he

[

shows

when

he

]

says

again

,

“

Be

not

deceived

:

neither

adulterers

,

nor

effeminate

persons

,

nor

abusers

of

themselves

with

mankind

,

nor

fornicators

,

nor

revilers

,

nor

drunkards

,

nor

thieves

,

can

inherit

the

kingdom

of

God

.

”

And

again

,

“

If

the

dead

rise

not

,

then

is

not

Christ

raised

;

our

preaching

therefore

is

vain

,

and

your

faith

is

also

vain

:

ye

are

yet

in

your

sins

.

Then

they

also

that

are

fallen

asleep

in

Christ

have

perished

.

If

in

this

life

only

we

have

hope

in

Christ

,

we

are

of

all

men

most

miserable

.

If

the

dead

-

rise

not

,

let

us

eat

and

drink

,

for

to

-

morrow

we

die

.

”

But

if

such

be

our

condition

and

feelings

,

wherein

shall

we

differ

from

asses

and

dogs

,

who

have

no

care

about

the

future

,

but

think

only

of

eating

,

and

of

indulging

such

appetites

as

follow

after

eating

?

For

they

are

unacquainted

with

any

intelligence

moving

within

them

.
