6. They shall be raised holy and without the least spot or stain of Sin, or inclination to it. Now the Body is defiled with sin, and the parts of it are too often the Instruments of Sin: Eyes beholding Vanity, and Windows to let in wickedness into the Heart and Thoughts; our Tongues too often speak to Gods dishonour; our Feet too often run into the ways of Sin, our Appetite too often over-rules our Reason, and we have cause to cry out, Who shall deliver us from this Body of Sin and Death?

God when he delivers our Bodies from Death, and raiseth them out of their Graves, will deliver them from all filthiness of the Flesh, and Christ shall present them pure and spotless, without wrinkle, or any such thing, ph. 5.27.
