52. Then she quoted Job 19.25, 26, 27. I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter end upon the earth, and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God, whom I shall see for my self, and my eyes shall behold, and net another, though my reins be consumed within me. Behold now Father, this very skin which you see, and this very flesh which you see, shall be raised up again; and these very eyes which now are so dim, shall on that day see and behold my dear and precious Redeemer; albeit the worms eat up my flesh, yet with these eyes shall I behold God, even I my self, and not another for me.
53. Then she quoted Joh. 5.28: Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming in which all that are in their graves shall hear his voice and come forth, those who have done good unto the Resurrection of Life. See Father I shall rise in that day, and then I ⟨p. 53⟩shall behold my Redeemer; then shall he say, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you before the beginning of the world.
54. Behold now I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life that I now live in the flesh is by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am saved, and that not of my self, it is the gift of God, not of works, that no man should boast.
