Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament

⁸ But this is not the only resurrection, there remains a resurrection of the body also. Whoso rises again in soul, rises again in body to his blessedness. For in soul all do not rise again; in body all are to rise again. In soul, I say, all do not rise again; but they that believe and, obey; for, “They that shall hear shall live.” But as the Apostle says, “All men have not faith.” If then all men have not faith, all men do not rise again in soul. When your hour of the resurrection of the body shall come, all shall rise again; be they good or bad, all shall rise again.

But whoso first rises again in soul, to his blessedness rises again in body; whoso does not first rise again in soul, rises again in body to his curse. Whoso rises again in soul, rises again in body unto life; whoso rises not again in soul, rises again in body unto punishment. Seeing then that the Lord has impressed upon us this resurrection of souls, unto which we ought all to hasten, and to labour that we may live therein, and living persevere even unto the end, it remained for Him to impress upon us the resurrection of bodies also, which is to be at the end of the world. Now hear how He has impressed this too.
