36 I pray you, who use such elaborate arguments against the resurrection, let us have some simple talk together. Do you believe that our Lord really rose again in the same body in which He died and was buried, or do you not believe it? If you believe it, why do you make propositions which lead to the denial of the resurrection? If you do not believe, you who thus try to deceive the minds of the ignorant, and parade the word resurrection, though you mean nothing by it, listen to me.
Not long ago, a certain disciple of Marcion said: “Woe to him who rises again with this flesh and these bones!” Our heart at once with joy replied, “We are buried together, and we shall rise together with Christ through baptism.” “Do you speak of the resurrection of the soul, or of the flesh?” I answered, “Not that of the soul alone, but that of the flesh, which, together with the soul, is born again in the laver. And how shall that perish which has been born again in Christ?”
“Because it is written,” said he, “'Flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of God.'” “I intreat you to mind what is said— 'Flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of God.'” “It is said that they shall not rise again.” “Not at all, but only 'they shall not inherit the kingdom.'” “How so?” “'Because,' it follows, 'neither shall corruption inherit incorruption.' So long then as they remain mere flesh and blood, they shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But when the corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and the mortal shall have put on immortality, and the clay of the flesh shall have been made into a vessel, then that flesh which was formerly kept down by a heavy weight upon the earth, when once it has received the wings of the spirit— wings which imply its change, not its destruction— shall fly with fresh glory to heaven; and then shall be fulfilled that which is written, 'Death is swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, is your boasting? O death, where is your sting?'”
