And again pointing expressly and precisely to these very bodies which here we bear about, he saith: This corruptible, This mortal, Yea This body I say, and no other, as Job also witnessed, shall rise again: and that shall rise again incorruptible, which was corruptible: that shall rise again ⟨p. 87⟩immortal, which before the resurrection was mortal. So then this body of ours in the resurrection shall be set free from all evil affections and passions, from all corruption: but the substance thereof shall not be brought to nought, it shall not be changed into a Spirit, it shall not loose the own and proper shape. And this body verily because of that purification and cleansing from those dregs, yea & rather because of these heavenly and divine gifts, is called both a spiritual body and also a glorious and purified body.1
