Part II — Chapter 14: The World and Its End

Book Mode

German & Latin

232–233

Demnächst folgt hierauß eine stattliche Versicher- und Vergewisserung der Aufferstehung der Todten / und der Verwandelung unserer Leiber in ein ebenmässig-allerperfectestes Wesen; Wie davon oben in vorhergehendem Capitel gedacht worden / und S. Paulus in seiner 1. Epistel an die Corinther im 15. Capitel mit mehrerm lehret. Worbey ich mich under andern gleichfalls erinnere / was der Prophet Daniel berichtet: Die Gerechten werden leuchten / wie des Himmels Glantz / und die viel zur Gerechtigkeit bekehrt haben / wie die Sterne immer und ewiglich. Item was abermahl St. Paulus sagt / daß unsere Leiber werden ähnlich werden / dem verklärten Leibe Christi.

232–233

From this also follows a powerful assurance of the resurrection of the dead and the transformation of our bodies into a likewise most perfect being, as mentioned in the preceding chapter and taught more fully by Saint Paul in 1 Corinthians 15. Among other things, I recall the prophet Daniel’s words: “The righteous will shine like heaven’s brightness, and those who have turned many to righteousness like the stars for ever and ever.” I also recall Paul’s statement that our bodies will become like Christ’s glorified body.
